Vietnam, early 20th century - Lot 62
Vietnam, early 20th century Polychrome lacquered wood statuette representing a Taoist deity or officiant, seated, wearing a large robe and a high crown, and holding a tablet in front of him with both hands, red, brown, black and gold lacquer, and flesh-colored remains on the face, the back of the seat carved with a conch shell and butterflies. A square lacquered tray attached to his headdress. H. 48.5 cm Wear, cracks and chips to the lacquer, missing face, shelf glued back, green felt glued to the base. Provenance: Despite the absence of documents illustrating the provenance of this set, we know that the sellers' paternal great-aunt was a music teacher in Hanoi. Their maternal grandmother worked at the Hanoi Museum after the death of her husband. The works presented today are probably souvenirs brought back to France by one or other of them.
