Sando’o is, after Poro, the most important society among the Senufo. Its members, who are mostly women, are responsible for the moral behaviour of members of their extended families. Sando’o is also the name given to those members of the society who perform divination. Connected with divination is the belief in the existence of bush spirits or tugubele. Those spirits with which a diviner is familiar are given an anthropomorphic representation in wood or bronze. Like humans, tugubele are believed to live as couples and are therefore most often represented as a pair of standing human fi gures. In rare cases when only one fi gure is carved, the spirit may be represented as seated. The carving or casting of these fi gures symbolises the bond between the diviner and his or her helping spirit, a bond which is maintained through regular libations and sacrifi ces to ensure the spirit’s continued help.

A RARE TEMNE MASKCentral Sierra Leone
A-Ròng-a-Thoma, carved as the head of a hippo-potamus with large fl ared nostrils fl anking a central ridge, the open jaws below with pierced row of teeth, curved and grooved horns above, remains of red, white and black pigments.

Provenance
Emile Deletaille, Brussels
Frederick Lamp (in “The Royal Horned Hippopota-mus of the Keita of Temne: A-Ròng-a-Thoma” in Yale University Art Gallery Bulletin, 2005, pp.37-53) writes at length about these rare masks. Called A-Ròng-a-Thoma they were made exclusively by the Temne living in the town of Yele in central Sierra Leone. The masking tradition was owned exclusively by the Kanu royal family in Yele and was the responsibil-ity of the ritual king-making association, Ragbènle, an association whose membership was restricted to paramount chiefs and their advisors. Although only made in Yele, the mask travelled throughout southeastern Temneland, in the areas controlled by the Ragbènle association who charged expensive fees for the right to hold a performance.
Although the form of the mask strongly resembles a hippopotamus, the presence of ram’s horns indicate that it represents a water spirit rather than an animal from the physical world. These spirits were responsi-ble for the welfare and safety of the community and the success of the harvest, especially rice.
The A-Ròng-a-Thoma mask is the most important of the spirits represented in masks of the Ragbènle. It appears annually in Yele at the beginning of the dry season and at other important ceremonial occa-sions such as the coronation of a paramount chief. Some of the songs which accompanied the mask’s appearance are of a sexual nature, and imply that the masked dancer will advance himself sexually as a result of his performance.
Lamp illustrates a photograph taken in the village of Maka by Northcote Whitridge Thomas, a British government anthropologist who conducted fi eld research in Sierra Leone in 1914-15. It shows two A-Ròng-a-Thoma masks, similar to the present lot, alongside one of the other accompanying Ragbènle spirit masks.
In addition to the Yale mask which was in Harry Bea-sley’s Cranmore Museum before 1938, Lamp also illustrates two of the few other known examples of the A-Ròng-a-Thoma mask; one in the Fowler Museum of Cultural History (X81.227), formerly in the Barry Kitnick collection; and another in the Manchester Museum (0.878). Another in the British Museum (Af1969,05.1) was acquired from Ernest Ohly in 1969.

There are two principal categories of large scale Ihambe fi gure sculpture made by the Tiv – post fi gures in an abstracted style and more naturalistic fi gures, such as the present lot, which are usually female. According to Francois Neyt (in The Arts of the Benue: to the Roots of Tradition, Tielt, 1985, p.178), Ihambe fi gure sculpture has not been made by the Tiv since the beginning of the 20th century.
Following a traditional marriage exchange in which the son of one family would marry the daughter of another whilst his sister would marry the brother of his new wife, one or more of these fi gures were placed by the family of the husband outside the home of the girl’s mother along with Akombo fetishes consisting of sticks, clay pots and medicinal plants, connected with fecundity of the tribe and fertility of the land.
The distinctive Kusa scarifi cation carved on the torsos of such fi gures is considered an es-sential sign of female beauty and marks the transition from girlhood to womanhood. On the present lot the stomach scarifi cation is of a type said to represent the Okpoto fi sh, one of the two most widespread catfi sh designs. These designs distinguished the Tiv from neighbouring tribes and also distinguished the diff erent age groups.

Talbot ( In the Shadow of the Bush, London, 1912, opposite page 50) illustrates two fi gures of this same type photographed in situ on altars.

The Keaka or Kaka are a small ethnic group situated in the hills of Western Cameroon. According to their own oral tradition they are related to the neighbouring Tikar. Their artistic production comprises mainly carved ancestor fi gures, either with colored pig-ments similar to Mambila tadep fi gures, or highly abstract fi gures. These abstract fi gures, with their highly geometrized form and their thick encrusted sooty patinas are believed to be the more ancient style and, for collectors of African art, have come to typify Keaka art.
According to Pierre Harter (in “Keaka, Kaka & «Kaka»”, Tribal Arts, 1994, no.3, pp.45-48) veneration of ancestors was primordial among the Keaka. The ritual celebrations in which the statues were used were organized by the mbir, the men’s secret society, and the fi gures associated with this cult were the responsibility of the wantop, one of the high members of the chief’s council.

DANCE CRESTNigeria, 19th century
The head covered with black-dyed skin, the eyes inset with metal, the broad parted lips with plaited fi bre borders, three fl ared cylindrical projections at the back of the head covered with red and yellow trade cloth, secured with a cloth cylinder, woven rattan base.
26.5 cm. high
A Cross River crest in the collection of the World Museum, Liverpool, is almost identical to the present lot but the skin is predominantly yellow rather than black. It was one of two purchased by the museum in 1873 from the Liverpool curio dealer, William Cross and described as “heads of idols, formed of skin stretched on wood & basket work”. Only one remains in the museum’s collec-tion today, the other having possibly been lost, along with many other objects, in the aftermath of the bombing of the museum in 1940.
Pale skin-covered masks are said to be female and dark-stained masks male. This leads us to speculate on whether this mask could be the pair to the Liverpool crest. As no detailed description or image of the museum’s second mask survives, it remains speculation. However, it seems highly probable that the two masks were made by the same artist.

carved, the ancient ones being repaired when needed. They could be moved only after those who came in contact with them had taken strict ritual precautions. The thick patina of soot and libations, it is believed, added to their eff ectiveness.
Pollock believes they were made to be worn as they have holes for attachment of a head covering. However, he relates that the Bangwa considered these old masks to have become so powerful and dan-gerous that they could no longer be worn on the head. Even to hold or carry a mask on the shoulder, a man had to be ritually pure and of a certain social status. (Pollock and Brain, Bangwa Funerary Sculpture, London, 1971, p. 132).
The masks of the Night Society are very varied in form but a com-mon feature is their grotesque and sometimes extreme, even violent, appearance. They are said to represent humans, “terrifying, powerful men” according to Pollock (op.cit. p.133).
Some of the Night masks are two-faced, some even four-faced. The Janus feature may derive from the idea that the Night society is considered the chief’s ‘eyes’, thus enabling the society to see in all directions.

The Night Society was one of the oldest and most important socie-ties of the Bangwa. Its most important role was that of kingmaker, naming a successor after the king’s death and maintaining political continuity during the period of interregnum. Its members were state executioners, and in the distant past hanged witches and criminals. Due to its secrecy and the political power it wielded, the Night Soci-ety was feared by the Bangwa. Its ritual objects, the terrifying Night masks and ceremonial sticks, were displayed during the so-called “cry-die”, the late chief’s funeral ceremony.
Unlike the masks of other societies participating in the king’s funeral ceremony, which were regarded purely for their aesthetic qualities, the Night Society masks were terrifying symbols of the worldly and supernatural powers of the chiefs and were considered highly dan-gerous. Stored for years in hidden places, new masks were very rarely

Provenance
Josef Herman, LondonAlan Mann, LondonChristie’s Paris, 4 December 2008, lot 313.
Robert Brain and Adam Pollock published a study of a small group of Bangwa who migrated from the area of the Bamileke about three hundred years ago after losing a succession dispute. The group brought with them skilled carvers such as the artist responsible for the famous Bangwa Queen.
In Bangwa Funerary Sculpture (London, 1971, p.12, pl.5) they publish a photograph in which a fi gure in a similar crouching position to the present lot can be seen in a house interior behind some bamboo bars. They illustrate two other fi gures in a crouching position with dark crusty patina, which they describe as lekat fi gures used by the kungang society. They state that the kungang society was of Bamileke origin and their fi gures were larger and more powerful than the more common njoo fetishes. A kungang priest would use such a fi gure in a rite to discover if the perpetrator of a misfortune is lying. Their power increased with age and they are therefore rarely sold to outsiders.
According to Pierre Harter the hands on the chin is a sign of wisdom and thoughtfulness (Arts anciens du Cameroun, Arnouville, 1986, p.268). Christraud Geary was told by a Weh informer that baboons were believed to be reincarnated ancestors and greatly feared which may account for the simian features of this powerful fi gure.
This fi gure took pride of place on a shelf over the fi replace in Josef Herman’s studio in London.

Pollock (in Pollock and Brain, Bangwa Funerary Sculpture, London, 1971, pl.16) publishes a photograph of a very similar mask worn on the head of a dancer, and also includes sketches of other head-dresses of this same type (fi gs.22-24). He calls them masks of the “challenge” society, a loose translation of the Bangwa word, Ngkpwe, a warrior society. The slaying of an enemy and the presentation of his skull to the chief originally gave a warrior and his patrilineal suc-cessor the right to perform the dance. The “challenge” society once organised head-hunting expeditions and today its members per-form dances during the “cry” ceremony to mark the funeral of a chief.

Dr. Otto Jordan (1899-1988) was one of the great collectors in post-war Munich. He began collecting modern German art before World War II from dealers such as the famous Rudolf Probst. He settled in Munich after the war and founded a factory producing industrial paints and adhesives. The company was sold in 1964 and he then devoted much of his time and considerable resources to his collecting interests. In addition to modern art he collected the arts of Africa, the Pacifi c and the Far East. The majority of his objects he acquired from the important dealer in Munich, Ludwig Bretschneider between 1953 and 1978.

A KORWAR FIGURE Doreh Bay, Irian Jaya
Standing holding a large shield pierced with scrolling motifs, the fi gure with carved teeth in the slightly parted lips, the eyes inset with blue glass beads, dark patina with remains of old label.
33 cm. high
Provenance
Collected by a German medical offi cer in the 19th century and by descent to the present owner.
The korwar ancestor fi gure serves as a medium between the ancestor and his living relatives. They consult with it when its advice or assistance is required in cases of illness, danger, for success in fi shing trips or planning journeys. The korwar is held in great honour and the carving of a korwar is an occasion for considerable ceremony. Korwars are adorned with red cloth and off ered tobacco to ensure their favorable disposition. However if a korwar fails to deliver on a supplica-tion it might be discarded or sold and another made.
Van Baaren surveys the writers on the subject of korwars all of whom identify this style of korwar as coming from the Doreh Bay area. They are characterized by the most naturalistic style of face and the richly carved shield. The shield is said to represent snakes and appear in varying degrees of stylization. Van Baaren concurs with Nuoff er’s hypothesis that the shield derived from an early prototype in which the korwar fi gure held two snakes by the neck. The snake in Geelvink Bay mythology is the symbol of the underworld and death and the dangers of the dark, which must be overcome. At the same time the snake represents rejuvenation and regeneration.
A number of korwars of this type were amongst the earliest collected. C. J. Jessop gave a similar fi gure to the British Museum in 1865 (Oc1865,0503.3) and Van Baaren (in Korwars and Korwar Style, Art and ancestor worship in North-West New Guinea, The Hague, 1968, pl.44) illustrates a very similar fi gure in the Rijksmuseum voor Volk-enkunde, Leiden (inventory 53-41) which entered the collection before 1865.

1. Deze verkoopsvoorwaarden zijn van toepassing op de openbare veiling bedoeld in de catalogus waarin zij opgenomen zijn.

Voor de lotnummers in de catalogus die met * gekenmerkt zijn, wordt een opgeld van 22 van de toeslagprijs gerekend; op dit nettobedrag (toeslagprijs + opgeld) wordt de wettelijke omzettaks van 6 bijgerekend (standaard BTW-tarief ).

De goederen en kunstvoorwerpen worden verkocht in de staat waarin ze zich bevinden op de plaats van bezichtiging en veiling. De beschrijvingen en schattingen opgenomen in de catalogus worden door Lempertz SA louter indicatief verstrekt en kunnen geen enkele aansprakelijkheid van Lempertz SA teweegbrengen. De kopers worden geacht de goederen en kunstvoorwerpen te hebben bezichtigd en onderzocht en hun bod met vol-ledige kennis van zaken te hebben gedaan. In het uitzonderlijk geval van bewezen vervalsing kan de verkoop van een kunstvoorwerp ontbonden worden en de toewijzingsprijs aan de koper worden terugbetaald als hij het aangekochte voorwerp binnen de drie (3) weken na de veilingdatum retourneert met het bewijs dat het een vervalsing is, en voor zover dat het voorwerp nog steeds in identiek dezelfde staat en toestand verkeert als op het ogenblik van de veiling. De kopers dienen zich voor de veiling, tijdens de kijkdagen, zelf te vergewissen van de materiële toestand en juridische staat van elk lot, wat betreft eventuele gebreken, restauraties of eventuele beperkingen op hun overdraagbaarheid of uitvoer.

gen van het conformiteitsgebrek binnen de twee maanden vanaf de dag waarop de koper het gebrek heeft vastgesteld, op straff e van verval van zijn compensatierecht.

7. De kopers dienen de verkochte goederen af te halen binnen de tien kalenderdagen na de datum van de veiling, in het kantoor van Lempertz SA, Wolstraat 1, 1000 Brussel.
8. Indien de koper de verkochte goederen niet komt afhalen op het afgesproken tijdstip, of op dat moment niet overgaat tot de betaling van de volledige verkoopprijs, heeft Lempertz SA het recht, naar diens vrije keuze, om zonder enige verdere ingebrekestelling en zonder afbreuk aan haar recht tot schadevergoeding: (i) hetzij de betaling van de verkoopprijs in rechte te vorderen; (ii) hetzij de koop- en verkoopovereenkomst van rechtswege als ontbon-den te beschouwen en over te gaan tot wederverkoop van de desbetreff ende goederen
