WESTERN NEPAL SPRING FIGURE

AN EXPLICATED ICONOGRAPHY

Former Dieter Schnurr Collection

https://www.facebook.com/TribalArtNepal

© Photo Credit of Dieter Schnurr  ·  https://www.facebook.com/TribalArtNepal

It’s a (spring) figure with iconography and patina similar to those of the early days –

© Photo Credit of La Sierra Museum

A relatively simple figure but with interesting plastic solutions – the T-shaped pattern of the face constitutes an inverted triangle which coincides with the triangle formed by the arms in the schematic position of namaste (frontally) on the side the position of the legs seems to suggest two other triangles (on the side ).

© Photo Credit of Dieter Schnurr  ·  https://www.facebook.com/TribalArtNepal

All well balanced suggests a sculpture in which advanced geometric solutions blend with an extremely simple naturalistic aspect.
