A RARE MADAGASCAN SOUTHERN SAKALAVA PEOPLES PLAQUE EARLY 20TH CENTURY Depicting a warrior with spear and shield wearing a talismanic necklace and headband with attached amulets, perhaps a memorial to an ancestor 61cm diameter (max) - 10cm deep Madagascar was first inhabited in the 7th Century A.D by people related to the Polynesians who lived along the Swahili coast of Africa, but were driven out by Islamic merchants and traders. The Sakalava occupied the west coast of the Island and were known as 'the people of the long valleys'. At the end of the 19th Century the island was colonised by the French who recorded items of Malagassy art in various texts, but it was not until the early 20th century that examples appeared in Europe. Malagasy art is principally associated with their funerary traditions. The Sakalava bury their dead in the forest far from their village in wooden rectangular tombs which on each corner have large carved figures of birds, men or women sometimes with children, and famously copulating couples now known to tourists as 'Sari Porno'. The sun rises in the north east and is associated with rebirth so on the north east corner of each tomb a carved figure representing the deceased is placed and in the opposite corner a figure of the opposite sex is to be found, reinforcing the idea of sexuality inherent in Sakalava beliefs. A ceremonial rice spoon carved with a male figure with similar features was exhibited at the Royal Academy exhibition of 1996 'Africa, Art of a Continent' and is in the collections of the British Museum (BM AF.18 103). Also please see a pair of Sakalava figures in the Musée Cedratom in Toliara, Madagascar with very similar facial features and hairstyles
AN UNUSUAL PAIR OF MUGHAL ARCHER'S THUMB RINGS INDIA, LATE 18TH / EARLY 19TH CENTURY Steel with gold coloured detailing, modern stand 3.5cm high Provenance: Ex John Harwood, India, 2005 Ex Private collection The bow ring worn by archers on the thumb had a primarily functional use, but they were often very decorative as well, as hunting game with a bow and arrow was often a Royal sport. The advantage of the Eastern archer's thumb ring over that of the European practice of using the leather covered tips of three fingers is that it improves the handling of the bow and arrow and increases the range and steadies the flight of the arrow, very similar to the actions achieved by using a spear thrower.
