An Early to Mid 20th Century delicately carved Senufo Kpelie Mask, with authentification certificate, combining both human and animal features. Although owned and worn only by men the Kpelie represented the concept of feminine beauty and fertility. The unique features which characterize the Kpelie mask include elongated flanges radiating from the bottom part of the mask, which are a reference to the hornbill bird. The horns on the mask refer to the ram, an important sacrificial animal. The nodules on the forehead represent palm nuts as well as vulva's; they are flanked by characterisation marks that symbolise the twins born to the primodial couple. The Kpelie mask was used at initiation in the societies for boys, adolescents and adults, at funeral rituals designed to lead the spirit into the land of the dead and at harvest festivals to thank the ancestors for a good crop. The piece is made of wood, cloth and cowrie shells and measures approx. 12 ins (30.5 cms) in height, 8 ½ ins (22 cm) wide.[Previously owned by the late Vaughan Lawson Baird, with documents which show communication between Vaughan L Baird and Esther A Dagan (Gallerie Anred) who wrote many books including 'The Sprits Image' to which this mask appears on page 88 and 193].

2600-2400 BC. A gypsum statuette of a male or female worshipper with eyes inlaid with shell and black limestone, standing, nude from the waist up and wearing a woollen skirt, hands clasped at the chest in prayer and with a small chair behind; accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: The figure is apparently female and clothed from the waist to the ankles, where there is a deep fringe. The head lacks any hair, and the face looks upwards with big eyes inlaid with three different materials to represent the human eyes. The hands are clasped over the waist. The feet show at the front the back is a necessary support for the weight of the whole body. The back also shows the block on which the statuette sits, which does not appear at the front. This is a statuette in the Sumerian tradition, but from central Mesopotamia. It dates to c. 2600-2400 BC and is in very good state of preservation. Such statuettes are rare. Accompanied by photocopy of previous Bosgirard auction catalogue listing and French export certificate. Property of a London gentleman; previously with Bosgirard Auction, Hotel Drouot, Paris, 17 December 2008, lot 21; from an important collection formed before 1980. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. Life in the cities of Mesopotamia was focused on the gods, who were believed to dwell in specially constructed temples. However, judging from the few excavated examples, these buildings appear not to have been congregational in nature. Access to the small central shrines was probably limited, most likely to the priests who served the god's needs. It was perhaps due to this lack of access that the elite commissioned images of themselves to be carried into the god's presence. These statues embodied the very essence of the worshipper so that the spirit would be present when the physical body was not. Quite how, or indeed if, the statues were presented to the god is unknown, as none have been discovered in situ but rather found buried in groups under the temple floor, or built into cultic installations such as altars, or scattered in pieces in the shrine and surrounding rooms. 209 grams, 12cm (4 3/4"). Fine condition.
