Timor Mask on Pedestal: A Tribal Work with a Timeless Style
- Total dimensions: height 25cm x width 13.5cm x depth 7cm approx. Mask only (without its base): height 16cm x width 13.5cm x width 3cm. Total weight: 0.4kg approx.
- Material: Mask in old-fashioned patinated mango wood, painted metal base.
- Artisanal creation imported in compliance with fair trade rules. Minor imperfections or differences in appearance are possible compared to the model photographed, testifying to the authenticity of each piece.
This work of aged wood from Timor, mounted on a black metal base, is a stylized representation of an ancestral face, carved according to the traditional techniques of this Indonesian island renowned for the quality of its centuries-old craftsmanship.
Its raw and minimalist appearance evokes both the simplicity of the tools used, and the symbolic power of Timorese creations. The round face, with its bare geometry, the pierced eyes and the absence of a mouth are reminiscent of a ritual mask or an effigy of an ancestor.
In the cultures of Timor, such objects are used to honor family spirits, protect the home, or accompany rites of passage.
The mango wood is aged, petrified and patinated in an artisanal way thanks to ancient methods such as burning and prolonged burial underground. These practices, passed down from generation to generation for centuries, give this mask its inimitable antique appearance and give it a remarkable authenticity.
A truly atypical tribal object, the mask is endowed with a strong emotional presence and deserves a minimalist staging to reveal its full visual potential. For example, you can place it on a low cabinet such as a sideboard or an entrance console, alone or combined with a green plant with drooping foliage.
Available in a limited edition, here is a very fine example of the subtlety of the Tribal Arts of Timor. A rare and timeless piece that can be kept and then passed on.
No to disposable decoration, yes to authenticity and the preservation of traditional cultures and know-how
In a world saturated with soulless objects, mass-produced and immediately forgotten, choosing a handcrafted piece is truly an act of resistance.
It means saying no to disposable decoration dictated by ephemeral trends, and preferring to turn to durable objects, bearers of meaning, memory and humanity.
This tribal mask from Timor is not just a decorative object. It embodies centuries of know-how, and the inestimable value of ancestral traditions that are now threatened.
By acquiring this object, you are supporting a local economy based on craftsmanship and encouraging production on a human scale, respectful of natural resources and the dignity of craftsmen.
Each piece is unique, carefully crafted, and has a timeless value, a simple and authentic beauty that doesn't care about the passing of time.
Yes, it's priced higher than a mass-produced item, but it's fair. Just to those who created it (the Timorese craftsmen), to those who offer it to you (us), but also to the planet, and especially to you, who deserve better than an impersonal and rootless decoration.
Choosing authenticity means bringing into oneself a part of a richer, more alive, and more human world.
