Lot 315:
A Pair of Southeast Asian Style Bronze Ritual Finial and Anthropomorphic Figure
Description
This lot comprises a pair of bronze or brass ritual objects. The larger item is an ornate, openwork crown-like finial or ritual adornment, featuring remnants of gilt or gold wash on its central spire and tiered elements. Its design includes a circular base incorporating stylized facial motifs and a superstructure with multiple pointed spires, evocative of Southeast Asian temple architecture. The smaller item is a stylized anthropomorphic figurine, also appearing to be bronze or brass, depicted in a seated or squatting posture with prominent ears and distinctive facial features, suggesting a primitive or indigenous style. Both items exhibit considerable age, heavy natural patination, and verdigris.
