Polena raffigurante una figura femminile Indie Orientali fine del XIX secolo
Located in Milan, IT
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...

Large wooden Buddha sculpture probably Laos, 19th-20th century
Located in Milano, IT
In the heart of your sacred space, there resides a timeless masterpiece—a magnificent wooden Buddha sculpture that whispers secrets of the ages. Crafted with utmost devotion, this ethereal creation is believed to have its roots in the mystic lands of Burma, dating back to the 19th or perhaps even the early 20th century. As you gaze upon it, you'll find yourself transported through the corridors of history.
This remarkable Buddha, a harmonious blend of two distinct eras, is a testament to the enduring spirit of artistry. Its features evoke echoes of a bygone era, the Pagan period, a time when devotion was expressed through the chisel and the keen eye of a master sculptor. The small, delicate mouth seems to whisper ancient wisdom, while the wide forehead exudes an aura of profound contemplation. The narrow waist and the gently rounded shoulders and chest reveal the artistry's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of a bygone Burmese sculptural style.
Seated in the full lotus position, the Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility that permeates every inch of your room. His right hand gracefully rests upon his knee, cradling a precious myrobalan fruit...

Polena Da Nave in Legno Di Castagno Raffigurante Capitan Uncino Italia XIX Sec
Located in Milan, IT
Polena in legno di castagno scolpito del XIX secolo, raffigurante Giacomo Uncino meglio conosciuto come Capitan Uncino, famoso pirata e il principale antagonista di Peter Pan.
Uncino è il capitano immaginario di una nave di pirati crudeli.
Viene chimato così perché al posto della mano destra ha un uncino di ferro, la mano gli fu mozzata da Peter Pan durante un combattimento e poi data in pasto ad un coccodrillo, il quale gradì così tanto la mano che spera di mangiarsi anche il pirata al quale continua a dare la caccia.
L’opera, in legno di castagno scolpito è stata realizzata da un bravo scultore ligure, Italia del Nord, alla fine del XIX secolo, di ottima fattura ritrare il mezzo busto di un uomo barbuto, l’occhio destro bendato e l’uncino al posto della mano destra, mentre la mano sinistra impugna una grande spada e una bandana come copriacapo.
Il castagno è un legno pregiato e molto resistente alle intemperie e al vento.
La spada spezzata è stata restaurata in epoca precedente, per il resto lo stato di conservazione è molto buono.
Una polena è una decorazione lignea, che si trovava sulla prua delle navi dal XVI al XIX secolo.
La pratica fu introdotta inizialmente nei galeoni, ma anche navi più antiche avevano spesso alcune decorazioni nella prua.
