SAKALAVA BIRD, Madagascar - Lot 6
SAKALAVA BIRD, Madagascar Wood with eroded patina. H. 57 cm Bird with a swollen crop, very slightly overflowing by the wings drawing a flat shape on the back. The head by metonymy is formed by the long beak. Living along the west coast of Madagascar, the Sakalava bury their dead far from the villages and in the forest. Representations of human effigies, but also of large birds symbolizing the soul, as here, are sculpted to decorate the corners and sides of the graves.
