Oceania, Africa & the Americas (501-845)
As a symbol of power, fecundity and wealth the water buffalo is omnipresent in Toraja culture. Not only is the kerbau the guardian of the dead, the animal is considered the vehicle of the dead to the hereafter. On the present old item the stylized head with an upward extension, to some this represents the Tree-of-Life, we see a male figure with spread arms and legs in between the near circle of the horns connoting both death and fecundity in this very image. By rendering the figure in contours, the spirit nature seems to be accentuated.

Provenance: Loed van Bussel, Amsterdam 1992; By repute acquired from Fred Gerrits.
Sculptures like these are relatively rare and are stylistically attributable to the Sepik-Ramu delta. The current figure is depicted completely nude except for a hood. She wears a nose ornament, and twisted strands hanging from her ears. The depiction of a reclining child in her arms is noteworthy. The entire body is covered with red ochre, indicating that a supernatural being is represented. These figures are generally associated with initiation rites for women. They have the ability to foretell and divine the future, to ease a difficult pregnancy and determine the sex of unborn babies, as well as assist in love magic. (Howarth, C. 2015, Myth + Magic, p. 75) As far as we know, this is the only figure where the woman holds a child in her arms, not in a gesture of mother love, but that of presenting a child to the viewer. As such, she may represent the mythical female culture hero Jari, who transmitted knowledge about canoe construction, fire, cooked food, and healthy childbirth.

Provenance: acquired from Aaron Vecht, Amsterdam, ca. 1947; Charles Ratton, Paris, before 1940. This figurine is very akin to the one that once belonged to Carl Einstein and was published in his 'Afrikanische Kunst' (1921) pl. 43 and is now in the Rietberg Museum, Zurich. Huguette Van Geluwe wrote in an answer to a request by Aldo van Eyck dd. 6 july 1994: 'Your figurine and the one in Zurich are undoubtedly from the same hand and are like twin sisters with some small varieties, but hardly determinable.'

For other works by the artist with the subject of 'Vragende Kinderen/Questioning children', see lot numbers 1041 and 1045. The series of works from 1948/1949 with the subject of 'Vragende Kinderen/Questioning Children' were inspired by the sight of begging children during a train journey through Germany that Karel Appel made soon after the end of World War II (see the website of the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, for more information on this subject).
