About the Item

Stone sculpture of a four-eyed idol. A superb reproduction of a four-eyed idol in sandstone, the original of which dates back to 4000 BC. These idols were frequently used as votive offerings and were also used as portable amulets in ancient Mesopotamia (especially when they were small). This one represents the human figure in an abstract way, with the presence of four eyes symbolising the ability to see or communicate with the deities. Hand-carved by craftsmen in our workshops, it has been given a patina to give it the character of the period. Material: Sandstone H: 26 cm, W: 17 cm, D: 6 cm Weight: 10.3 kg

Jean-Baptiste Van den Heede defines himself as a cabinetmaker-designer and an artist of academic training and family tradition. He has achieved unique designs of national and international prestige and has several awards in avant-garde furniture. Born in Argentina in 1966, from an Argentine mother and a Belgian father. At 5 years of age he and his family moved to Belgium. To train as a wood professional, he first studied 4 years of carpentry. Then he continued training in cabinetmaking and carving for 5 more years. Always in search of contributing something more to his trade, he studied furniture and antique design, culminating this with the study of Sculpture at the Royal Academies of Fine Arts in Liège (Belgium) and graduating with honors. Work the stone, the wood and experience the forge. From the beginning it is directed towards a search for signs, abstract writings and unrealistic figures in analogy with other “primitive” cultures. He taught drawing and sculpture in Brussels at the private school “la main et l´ esprit” As well as summer courses in Liege (Belgium) “les ateliers d´art contemporain”. In 1995 he went to Barcelona where he taught and investigated the reliefs of different supports such as trees, floors, and especially sewer covers. He searched again analogies between current art and prehistoric, African art, etc. Participated in several exhibitions both at the artistic level and avant-garde design. In 2002, he moved down to Albacete and then to a town in the province where he still works. It is defined as “a search engine...
