Expert authentication: Dr. Johannes Beltz, curator of Indian art at the Museum Rietberg in Zurich, Switzerland, has authenticated the present lot as a genuine example of modern Bastar art from Central India, Chhattisgarh, dating to the 20th century. A copy of a letter from Dr. Beltz to Walter Haberthuer, dated 9 June 2016, accompanies this lot, confirming its authenticity with ''high probability'' and referencing a similar piece in the museum's collection (see literature comparison).Heavily cast, the serene face with almond-shaped eyes, a slender nose, pursed lips, flanked by ears with large earrings to the lobe and helix, the hair neatly secured in a low-bun and adorned with a peacock-feather headdress, all supported on the tall neck heavily embellished with tightly wound necklaces. Provenance: From the collection of Walter Haberthuer, Pfaffnau, Switzerland, and thence by descent. Condition: Excellent condition with wear and casting irregularities. Small nicks and light scratches. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown, dark patina. Weight: 3,182 gDimensions: Height 28.2 cmDokra is the process of casting brass, bell-metal, and bronze objects through the lost wax technique. This traditional art form is prevalent across various Indian states, with a significant concentration of this practice being in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. This intricately captivating practice holds great cultural significance and is a globally recognized art form. While the exact origins of the craft remain unknown, nomadic communities in eastern and central India popularized its practice.Literature comparison: Compare a related copper alloy head of a Goddess, Bastar, dated to the first half of the 20th century, 33 cm high, in the Museum Rietberg, Zuerich, inventory number 2011.103.
