About the Item
A stone sculpture by an unknown Indian artist. "Procession with Horses, India, 12th Century" is a royal procession scene from a medieval, Indian temple. The central rider wears an embellished helmet, or crown, that is indicative of his royal status. He is accompanied on either side by two companions, both of whom turn to face him out of deference. On the frieze behind the riders, a throng of supporters watches the procession. The carver has conveyed a sense of depth both by placing the followers on a ledge behind the main figures and by making these secondary figures smaller in scale. While this technique lacks the sophistication of, for instance, classical Greco-Roman friezes, the artist still achieves a sense of depth and perspective while providing space in which to depict the horses and central figures in a voluminous manner. In addition, the carver reveals particular skill in the detail work on the horses’ saddles and harnesses and on the riders’ boots and armored leggings.

- A Large Scale, Beautifully Sculpted and Patinated Batcham Cameroon Mask.Located in Cotignac, FRA large scale and beautifully carved wooden ceremonial mask from Cameroon. There are traces of colour and decoration to the surface and the mask has a magnificent patina giving it a wonderful presence as a sculptural object. The Batcham Mask or simply the Batcham originated in western Cameroon although its name refers to the place where it was first found: Batcham. This is a ceremonial mask from the Bamileke culture in the western Grasslands of Cameroon. This tall crest (76 cm in height) has clearly defined features, a powerful yet calm visage, sharply chiselled diamond and triangular furrows, and nearly perfect symmetry. Such painstaking craftsmanship underscores the sophistication and control of the sculptor in preparing this ceremonial piece. It shares the elements of Batcham masks including: The general morphology is built on two axes: a symmetrical vertical axis with chiseled furrows, stylized eyes, lips, nostrils, mouth and teeth; a horizontal axis presenting swollen cheeks, an ovular mouth showing multiple teeth, and triangular ears supported on a hollow cylindrical base. One interpretation is that the masks depict a hippopotamus emerging from watery depths, conveying nature’s power conferred to enthroned royalty. The Batcham mask represents the pi, or double animal of a great dignitary of the kingdom. It was used by a great dignitary of the Msop society who intervened only on rare occasions: during the funeral and enthronement of the king and the nine notables, and to perform the Royal Tso dance, elephant dance...Category
