UnknownGuatemala. Maschera di Baila de la Conquista. Inizio XX secolo
About the Item
Questa maschera guatemalteca del inizio del XX secolo, scolpita in legno e utilizzata per la danza della Riconquista (Baila de la Conquista) , raffigura vividamente un uomo europeo, presumibilmente spagnolo.
In buono stato di conservazione con policromia autentica d’epoca.
La sua espressione bruttale e acuta, insieme ai colori vivaci dipinti, riflette la percezione negativa di questo personaggio da parte dei popoli indigeni.
Sono presenti aperture per gli occhi, ed i fori per le narici.
La danza della conquista è una messa in scena di danza drammatica che nasce alla fine del XVI secolo, introdotto da frati domenicani in Guatemala.
Si tratta di un racconto didattico che i frati usarono per far credere agli indigeni che la conquista del Guatemala era stata possibile grazie a forze soprannaturali e spirituali
Questa maschera, oltre a offrire un significato storico e culturale, può avere un bellissimo effetto decorativo in vari contesti, sia in un ambiente ricco di oggetti antichi che in uno spazio moderno di design, aggiungendo un tocco unico e affascinante alla sua presenza.

A sculpture - amulet with two dolphins. 19th century
Located in Firenze, IT
A coral sculpture - amulet with two dolphins, fruits and leaves, symbols of abundance and life.
Nineteenth century.
Weight 17gr
Created from a single sprig of coral, carved, engraved and polished.
Italian workmanship of the Trapani tradition, but difficult to place more precisely, as the Trapani artisans moved around Italy over time, forming, among other things, a lesser-known processing center in Livorno (Tuscany), the place of probable creation of this splendid object.
Sculpture with two fish, probably two dolphins, or 2 marine monsters, which transform themselves into a kind of cornucopia, from which fruits emerge in abundance.
The gift to the newborn therefore had a sense of protection and above all of future male fertility...
