Antique Sulawesi Bronze Double-Rider Horse Statue
Rp 12.750.000Price
A finely cast bronze equestrian statue from Celebes, Sulawesi, featuring two stylized figures—a male rider adorned in a conical headpiece holding the reins, paired with a secondary figure seated behind. Rendered in a traditional alloy with an aged verdigris patina, the sculpture stands upon a distinctive twisted-rope border base, reflecting design elements inspired by ancient Dong Son bronze traditions.
Estimated to date from the late 19th to mid-20th century (c. 1880s–1950s), the piece embodies Eastern Indonesian tribal metalwork, where horsemen served as symbols of prestige, nobility, ancestry, and spiritual protection. Its expressive features and lost-wax construction showcase the region's enduring metallurgical heritage.
