Description: S8653 East Java 15th Century Majapahit Empire Terracotta Head This head came from a private New York collector who acquired it from a Dutch Indonesian government official prior to World War II. It was unearthed near Trowulan, once the capital of the Majapahit civilization in East Java, Indonesia. It was unearthed in several pieces and then assembled to form this head of Anoman or Hanuman, an anthropomorphic monkey in the Hindu Ramayana epic.Has been in my private collections since the late 1990s. With stand. 11” tall on stand x 7” wide x 9” deep. Head only: 8” tall I have been a collector for over 60 years and have spent this time searching for the most unique, wonderous and culturally-significant pieces from far off places like Africa, Middle East, South & Southeast Asia, Central & South America and the Oceania Islands. Most were acquired from the country of origin and/or from avid collectors. All that I know about the item - through provenance or my own research - is shown in the listing. It’s now time for me to thin out my collection. I am sure you will enjoy this item and its history as much as I have.
