Shamanic Mask from the Rainforest Arawak
Located in VALENCIA, ES
Extraordinary as works of art and decoration, this mask come from the Shamanic beliefs and rituals of the Central American tribes. The Indigenous people divide the world in two, a visible world and a parallel world which is invisible. These invisible spirits are found in nature, in animals or in plants. Through the Shamans, they come into contact with the spirits of Nature. The mask allows the Shaman, during the ritual, to take on the appearance of a spirit from the invisible world and enter into communication with this world. Collaborating with those tribes for 9 years, Corinne Bally design those incredible pieces of modern art. She personally works with each artisan and adapt the design to each one's style. Halfway between a ritual object and a modern work of art, these masks are unique pieces in the world. This mask is handmade in the heart of the jungle with palm leaves. The softer parts are removed and dried. Then they are dyed with natural dyes made from fruit pulp, wood chips...

Vintage, Mid-Century, Contemporary and Antique Animal Sculptures

Invite the untamed wonders of the animal kingdom into your home — and do so safely — with the antique, new and vintage animal sculptures available on 1stDibs.

Artists working in every medium from furniture design to jewelry to painting have found inspiration in wild animals over the years. For sculptors, three-dimensional animal renderings — both realistic and symbolic — crisscross history and continents. In as early as 210 B.C., intricately detailed terracotta horses guarded early Chinese tombs, while North America’s native Inuit tribes living in the ice-covered Arctic during the 1800’s wore small animal figurines carved from walrus ivory. Indeed, animal sculpture has a long history, and beginning in the 19th century, the art form started becoming not only fashionable but artistically validated — a trend that continues today. At home, animal sculptures — polished bronze rhinos crafted in the Art Deco style or ceramic dogs of the mid-century modern era — can introduce both playfulness and drama to your decor.

In the case of the frosted glass sculptures crafted by artisans at legendary French glassmaker Lalique, founded by jeweler and glass artist René Lalique, some animal sculptures are purely decorative. With their meticulously groomed horse manes and detailed contours of their parakeet feathers, these creatures want to be proudly displayed. Adding animal sculptures to your bookcases can draw attention to your covetable collection of vintage monographs, while side tables and wall shelving also make great habitats for these ornamental animal figurines.

Some sculptures, however, can find suitable nests in just about any corner of your space. Whimsical brass flamingos or the violent, realist bronze lions created by Parisian sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye are provocative and versatile pieces that can rest on windowsills or your desk. Otherwise, the brass cat shoehorns and bronze porcupine ashtrays designed by Viennese artist Walter Bosse are no longer roaming aimlessly throughout your living room, as they’ve found a purpose to serve.

Embark on your safari today and find a fascinating collection of vintage, modern and antique animal sculptures on 1stDibs.
