AN IMPORTANT AND LARGE BRONZE RITUAL AXE, INDONESIA, NORTH SUMATRA, CIRCA 500 BC-300 ADPublished & Exhibited: Martin Doustar, Austronesia. In Pursuit of the Origins, Parcours des Mondes 2022, Paris, no. 13.The slender tubular shaft rising from a broad crescentic blade with a slightly convex cutting edge and flaring upward into an anthropomorphic terminal detailed with large hollow eyes set beneath an overhanging brow, the angular nose descending sharply to a small, pursed mouth, flanked by c-form ears. The cylindrical body is densely ornamented with neatly arranged rows of raised spirals, creating a textured, almost scaled surface.Provenance: Collection of Martin Doustar, Brussels, Belgium. Martin Doustar is a Brussels-based art dealer and collector whose career spans more than two decades. He began his professional journey in the early 2000s with a focus on Modern Art, developing a keen interest in the ways early twentieth-century artists were influenced by 'primitive' art from Africa and Oceania. Over time, his connoisseurship expanded into archaeological and ethnographic fields, with particular expertise in the ancient arts of the Pacific, Africa, and pre-Columbian America, while also encompassing Asian material culture and modern masterpieces. He is the author of numerous scholarly catalogs and has organized thematic exhibitions on a wide range of subjects.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, casting irregularities, minuscule losses along the blade, signs of prolonged burial, encrustations, rubbing. A small section to the shaft with tiny losses and associated minor cracks. Covered overall in a smooth, naturally grown patina with vibrant malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 1,985 g Dimensions: Height 49.5 cmWith a fitted wood box and cover. (2)Literature comparison: Compare a related Indonesian bronze ceremonial axe, possibly Sulawesi, dated c. 100 BC-300 AD, 105.1 cm high, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 1993.525. Compare a related Indonesian bronze hafted axe with face, dated c. 500 BC-300 AD, 13 cm high, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 2001.433.404.
