Antique late 19th Century Indian Kalighat natural pigment watercolor painting of Krishna milking a cow under a Pipal tree. The cow is smiling at Krishna, with divine love. The cosmic dance of life represented in a symbolic message within the painting. Framed in gold painted carved wood frame under glass. Origins of Kalighat painting According to legend, Lord Shiva, the god of dance and destruction, was deep in meditation on Mount Kailash when he received news of the death of his consort, Sati, an avatar (or human manifestation) of the goddess Kali. He wandered for days with her body draped across his shoulders and his inconsolable grief threatened to ruin the earth. Lord Vishnu, the Preserver, was called upon to intervene. To relieve Shiva's burden, he shattered Sati's body into 51 pieces. The little toe of Sati's right foot was said to have fallen at the site of the Hooghly River...

Face coverings were worn for centuries by the women of various nomadic tribal groups of North Africa and the Middle East. In the western desert of Egypt, Berber women living in Bedouin societies sometimes wear masks or veils called niqab. The veils serve multiple functions, including protecting the women’s face from sun damage, filtering dust from the air, displaying adornment, and demonstrating wealth or status. The niqab worn by Bedouin women on special occasions are sometimes elaborately decorated with coins and beads, like this one. Such masks are not for everyday use; they would be too hot and heavy. They are worn during special events, such as weddings and feasts. Face veil: 12" W x 19" L, circa 1915-1930. Last pictures are references from the book: "Traditional Palestinian Embroidery...

Polena raffigurante una figura femminile con i capelli sciolti e una cintura che le stringe la vita; è stata scolpita in legno di tiglio, nome scientifico Tilia, un legno molto usato nei lavori di intaglio, cosa che farebbe pensare a una nave costruita in un cantiere delle Indie Orientali attorno alla fine del XIX secolo, fatto frequente in molte navi della Royal Navy, benché la presente scultura per le fattezze appartiene certamente a una nave mercantile. Le sue dimensioni sono 163 cm di altezza – inches 64.20, 48 cm – inches 18.8 di larghezza massima misurata all’altezza delle spalle e cm 30 – inches 11.8, di profondità. Sotto lo strato di vernice di colore verde chiaro, più recente, ci sono tracce di una colorazione bruno-marrone, probabilmente una pittura usata per la conservazione del legno. La scultura è stata eseguita a mano con uso di sgorbia. La mancanza di braccia è tipica delle polene...
