拍品描述
Japan, mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)The first carving is a slender wood ikupasuy (prayer stick) carved in the form of an arrow, the body finely carved in relief with a recumbent bear lying on its belly, flanked by abstract motifs, the reverse incised with shiroshi (symbolic script) marking. The second is a wood quiver applied with circular emblems to the top.LENGTH 54.5 cm (the quiver) and 38 cm (the ikupasuy)Condition: The ikupasuy in very good condition with old wear, small nicks, and old smoothened losses. The quiver with wear, losses, and natural imperfections. The metal sheet with cracks and dings.Originally hunter-gatherers, the island’s indigenous Ainu people have a different language, religion and culture from the Japanese, all rooted in a strong connection with nature; this influence is clear in local crafts. Chief among them is carving, traditionally the domain of Ainu men, who sculpt wood into tools and adorn their surfaces with patterns passed down through generations.Ikupasuy are among the most important objects owned by the Ainu and are venerated as sacred objects. They were used in Ainu rituals, particularly libation rituals where barley wine or sake is dripped on the stick. The Ainu believed that the gods would receive what they drank six-fold.Museum comparison:Compare a related wood prayer stick (ikupasuy) carved with abstract designs and cross-hatching, in the British Museum, registration number As.8110. Compare a related Ainu long quiver and arrows, 57 cm long, in the Brooklyn Museum, accession number 12.403.
