Contemporary Raku Ceramic Tribal Mask with Antlers by Argon

pkversion — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 16:31:59 +0000

Contemporary Raku ceramic tribal mask with antlers by Argon

A raku fired ceramic mask by the artist Argon, purchased in the 1980s at Galleria de la Raza in San Francisco. The expression is one of wonder, with pupils of African trade beads and curly copper wire hair scattered about the face. The crack from the raku firing frames the left eye beautifully and is further integrated into the facial structure. The antlers are actual bone from a small animal.

Mid-20th Century Wool Baknough ‘Woman’s head covering’ Berber People, Libya

pkversion — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 14:57:51 +0000

Mid-20th century Wool Baknough (Woman’s head covering) Berber People, Libya

This wool baknough is most likely from Libya, although similar pieces have been attributed to Tunisia; it was purchased from a very knowledgeable textile dealer on Djerba Island. The supplemental cotton patterns are sewn with cotton thread unevenly dyed with indigo, which can be clearly seen in the detail photos below. The last photo is the back side of the piece, which shows how skillfully the patterns are stitched. It has a very fluid hand and there is such a twist in the wool that it barely wrinkles.

There are circular areas of henna along the fringed edges, which can be barely seen, and it makes the entire area a little redder than the field. There is a native repair on the lower edge, obviously made for strength rather than invisibility, indicating that it was used after the repair. A textile conservator can repair the tear so that it can barely be detected; this can be arranged if desired. There is one small hole near the right end centre.

Measure: 44″ to 52″ (195 to 132 cm) high by 74″ (91.5 cm) long.
