À propos du lot n° 50
Titre : An Egyptian bronze figure of an ibis
Notes : Provenance:Béla Hein Collection, Paris, France, before 1931. Béla Hein (1883–1931), was one of the premier dealers and collectors of African art in early twentieth century Paris. He established his gallery in the early 1920s, dealing in African art, contemporary sculpture and also "curiosités" including antiquities. Cf. B. de Grunne Bela Hein. Grand Initié des Ivoires Lega, Paris, 2001.Literature:The ibis was seen as a manifestation of the god Thoth and such a piece would likely have been created as a votive offering to him. For another large bronze Ibis with detailed tail-feathers in the British Museum (inv. 64095), cf. S. Smith, 'Three Egyptian Antiquities', The British Museum Quarterly, vol. 13, no. 2, June 1939, pp. 45-46, fig. a.
