antique, 16th C. statue of Child Jesus

an antique, 16th Century, full round carved wooden statue of the

Holy Child Jesus blessing

Christ is here presented as a chubby child, emphasizing his dual nature. The total nudity of the child refers to his human nature, while the gesture of blessing with his right hand reflects his divine nature. In his left hand he probably would have hold a globe for he was the Salvator Mundi. This kind of statue could be dressed according to desires and celebrations. Both arms were removable to make the handling and dressing possible. There are also small holes on the top of the child's head to place headdresses or a halo. On later dolls, the hair was carved directly into the wood.

With many restorations, we see: an ear, several fingers, his feet, his genitals and maybe repainted,

Solomon Islands, Oceania

an extremely rare, unusual and old, early 20th century, with high skills carved wooden statue, known as an

Adu Nuwu

sometimes refered to as / confused with an Adu Horo or Adu Zatua, representing an ancestor figure of a noble Nias warrior.

After research we can say the two figures on the statue represent a king of Orahili: the

Raja of Orahili Sang "De Verdrijver der Hollanders" and Generaal Jan van Swieten

Verdrijver der Hollanders translates as: the one who chased the Dutch away, refering to the Dutch attack and their loss in 1855 - 1856 on Nias,

and very plausible is that the name of this king of Orahili is:

Si'ulu Laowoziduhu / Laowoziduhu Fau / Laowo, who died in 1902

see the article: Mengidentifikasi Sosok (identifying the figure of) Si'ulu Laowoziduhu, written by Samuel Novelman Wau, on July 25, 2016 on the Blog of the Nias Heritage Museum.

and a picture taken in 1887 on Nias, by Joachim von Brenner Felsach (1859-1927) documented as Konig von Orahili, with the raja in the center, not as the young warrior, but circa 30 years later as an older man, wearing all the ornaments and clothing of a Nias king

Our thoughts about the lower head to be non-Nias is because it has no ornaments of a Nias warrior, we looked into Dutch military interventions on Nias and came across the happenings of 1846-1847 in Lagoendie, when Luitenant Lodewijk Donleben was attacked by Nias men, because he came to close to a women's bathing spot and in 1855 Generaal van Swieten gave orders to suppress that Nias revolt in 1855-1856. We believe the lower head is an image of van Swieten (see the picture of van Swieten) and documentation found in: De Nederlandse Krijgsmacht, 1855 Expeditie naar Nias (published on 17 oct. 2018)

the statue is made by the Peoples of Central or South Nias, an island in the Samudera Indonesia - the Indian Ocean, west of Sumatra,

age: seen the story it tells and it's authentic patine, we believe it is made in the early 20th Century, because on Nias after the death of a noble man, ancestor figures of that person were only allowed to be made within 2 generations,

we see an armless figure in standing position, slight bended knees, with on the head a high forked head-gear, representing golden male ornaments are carved: a stylized beard and moustache, 1 male ear ornament and the male necklace

compare similar statues - not standing on a head ! - in the book: Nias, Tribal Treasures, published by Museum Nusantara, Delft, Netherlands, the article on Nias sculptures is by Jerome Feldman and there are several illustrations

height circa 61 cm / circa 24 inch / circa 2 feet

African pottery with high relief

Lion King Sunjata - Sundiata Keita

2 old ceramic vessels, ceremonial or divination bowls, Mandinka People, Mali

.

tribal art ceramic form Mali

2 old ceramic African vessels; ceremonial jars or divination bowls. The decoration is refering to the story of the Lion King Sunjata. These are not ordinary containers for food or water, but objects of ritual importance, they are made by a specially skilled potter for religious rituals, decorated in very high relief with human figures and animals. Made in West-Africa, usualy this ceramic is from the coastlands, or for example from the Baatonu / Bariba People from Benin, or Yorouba from Nigeria, but the visual story told by the figurativ decoration is from Mali, the old Empire of Sundiata Keita / Sunjata, the Lion King, in the 13th. Century and therefore we believe it to been made by the Mandinka People also known as: Malinke / Mandinko / Mandingo / Manding

On one pot you can clearly see a male figure riding on the back of a tamed lion and two hunchback figures. The hunchback figures are the grandmother and mother of Sunjata, the mother's name is Sogolon, Sogolon Kedjou / Koudouma / Kondouto / Conde / Kolonkan. Sogolon was the daughter of Buffalo Woman, their family totem was the buffalo. The story on one vessel (the females pot) shows us how she was choosen above all beautuifull women of the land of Do of King Mansa Gnemo Diarra, who all had gold in their hair and their wrists bent under the weight of heavy silver bracelets, to become, as predicted, the second wife of the King of Mali, King Nare Maghan Konate Keita, with the lion as family totem. Sogolon gave birth to a son who was or became disabled, his name was Prince Jata Keita / Sogolon Jata / Sogolon Djata / Sunjata / Sundiata Keita. On the Lion King pot, you will find Sunjata riding a lion, his mother Sogolon, his grandmother Buffalo woman, his full sisters Sogolon Kolonkan and Sogolon Djamerou and his halfsister Nana Triban / Nana Faamaga. Nana is probably the girl with the ponytail, she holds a flask or container in her hand, she was the sister who was at the court of Sumanguru and gave Sunjata important information, wich abled him to reconquer his father's kingdom. More visible on the left vessel, the Lion King Pot are: 2 human figures with a hunchback, one holding a staff, the other holding a dog-like figure on the rope, a monkey-like figure, a female with sacrifications on her forehead and cheeks, holding a divinig/dowsing rod, a human riding a tamed lion, a snake head upwards, a turtle, a small female with elaborate ponytail. The right vessel, the Females Pot, shows a human with a hunchback holding a divinig/dowsing rod, a bird-like figure, a turtle, a beetle-like figure, a female with sacrifications on her cheeks holding a dog-like figure, she is held by her left arm by a female figure (head is missing) with a heavy necklace, breast of an old women, she wears a bracelet on her right arm, she is held by her left arm by the next figure, a female, again with sacrifications on the cheeks, with a delicate coiffure, a bracelet, she also holds the next figure, a female, again with sacrifications on the cheeks, who holds a stick or staff

a pair of early 18th century, double walled, glass beakers so called:

Zwischengoldbecher

probably ment as Kiddush cups for the Shabbat dinner, made circa 1750 in Bohemia

clear colourless glass with gold leaf, flat base, conical body, vertical cut facets, cemented seam around the upper rim, finished with gold - one of the 2 techniques for making the Zwischengoldbecher / Doppelwandgläser - the inner gold decor depicts 2 four-winged angel/ cherub like figures, with curly beards, wearing long robes with a decorated border and they are wearing sandles, on their head is an impressive crown, of which the form seems to go back to Babylonian times when the Jewish exile took place, because of the similarity with the crown of the hieroglyph of Mandulis in the temple of Kalabsha

- the figures wear an Elamite dress, an Egyptian crown, and 4 Assyrian wings; all member countries of the Persian empire - the crown is known as the Mandulis crown, but also as the Hemhem or Triple Atef crown and is of Egyptian origin - the crossed wings are of Assyrian origin - the robe is an Elamite garment -

this angel/cherub figure is an almost exact copy of

the Cherub / Good Genius of Pasargadae in Iran/Persia

the total image can be found as a relief at the entrance hall / Gate R of the palace/paradise in Pasargadae of Cyrus The Great

- the Bohemian glassmaker confused the upright cobra's on the sides of the crown with antlers, or did he do this on purpose? -

the cherub is a guardian and one is reminded of the cherubs who guarded the Garden of Eden.

The above mentioned and much more information is given me by Prof.Dr. Jacobus van Dijk, University of Groningen, he has been a wonderfull and nice help and I am very greatfull, he also mentioned that with this information, the dating of the glasses can be a problem. Although western travellers have visited the place in the 17th century, there seem to be no recorded images by western travellers of before 1808

Tichelaar Makkum 1943,

Al ware de doot op de lippen ..., J. Pzn. Coen 1623

Tichelaar Makkum 1943,

De geest moet boven moeyelickheden sweven ...., J. Pzn. Coen 1623

2 rare and large Dutch faience, Delft ware wall chargers, mementoes of the Dutch Resistance during World War II made in 1943 by Tichelaar Makkum

text on the plates:

Al ware de doot op de lippen, daeromme moet men geen couragie verliesen. J.Pz. Coen, 14 Mei 1623

translation: Even in the face of Death, one should not loose courage / keep up a stout heart

De geest moet boven alle moeyelijckheden sweven ende geensints daer onder buygen. J.Pz.Coen, 14 Mei 1623

translation: Let the mind float above all difficulties and do not let it bow to them.

These mottos of Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1587-1629) were used as encouragement during WWII. Koningin Wilhelmina, the Dutch queen at that moment, concluded her speech at the beginning of World War II, to the Dutch population on May 14, 1940 with Coen's words: Dispereert niet / Do not dispair. These plates, made by Tichelaar in 1943, can be seen as, if not ment to be, a silent form of resistance during the war. We do not know why and how Tichelaar made these plates. But we think because it were words from the 17th century, the occupier probably did not realize the meaning at that moment and Tichelaar was able to produce them. In 1943, the Germans announced that 300,000 Dutch army soldiers, who had been captured and released in 1940, were to be recaptured and sent to German labor camps. As soon as this was announced, workers all over Holland, walked off their jobs in a protest strike. Rural Dutch farmers supported the strike by refusing to deliver milk to dairy factories. To combat these strikes, Nazi troops began shooting at the strikers throughout the country, and those strikers who were arrested were sentenced to death. 1943 is also the year that many Dutch students and teachers refused to sign the Loyaliteits Verklaring / Declaration of Loyalty to the Nazi occupiers. Those who refused to sign, had to go into hiding or were put to work in German labor camps. Many were executed or murdered in Holland or in Nazi concentration camps. One of them, the student Otto Cornelius Tichelaar, born in 1918, was murdered in Neuengamme, Germany in February 1945. After the war Queen Wilhelmina came back to Holland and in her favorite palace, Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn, she placed a table in the Grote Zaal of Audiëntiezaal / Great Hall or Audience Chamber, on which she placed mementoes, also two of these Makkum plates, as a tribute to the Dutch Resistance Movement. This table is called Verzetstafel / Table of Resistance. The plates and other items are still on that table today.

Royal Tichelaar Makkum / Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum was established circa 1660 in Makkum, a village situated on the banks of the IJsselmeer / Lake IJssel, a lake since 1932, but earlier an inland sea: the Zuiderzee / Southern Sea, in the northern Dutch province Friesland of The Netherlands. Centuries of ceramic history started out in with a brickyard halfway through the 16th century. Bricks were replaced for pottery in 1670, which changed into ornamental earthenware in 1890. The 19th century saw craft techniques disappear from the industrial production process. Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum is one of the world's few remaining factories that continued to invest in traditional craft production processes. The relevant map in Caspar Robles' 1572 atlas shows a briccaria or brick factory on the site where the Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum factory is now. This provides the earliest proof of a long company history. In 1640 the company became a family firm and remains so until today. The company has down the centuries displayed an exceptional awareness of its valuable tradition and now, in the twelfth generation under the leadership of Jan Tichelaar, it once again works to refresh and expand the development of traditional craftsmanship and ceramic knowledge, the company's core values. Economic and technological changes have never alienated Tichelaar from its traditional origins. The clay, a large proportion of which is still excavated locally, and the glazes, are still the two most important raw materials the company uses. The company's expertise also includes many of the production methods, such as hand-painting and the age-old and superior seventeenth-century faience technique - also called Delft earthenware.

Jan Pieterszoon Coen, 8 January 1587 - 21 September 1629, was the founder of Batavia, an officer of the VOC - the Dutch East India Company in Indonesia, and holding two terms as Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies
