Chryselephantine figurine. Bronze and ivory. Salammbô, circa 1920
sia antion, riga, latvia
This exquisite figurine of Salammbô, also known as Oriental Dancer, created in the first quarter of the 20th century, is an excellent example of Art Deco plastic art. The sculpture shows a graceful girl frozen in the movement of a dance, with expressive and dynamic lines characteristic of this artistic movement. The figure is made of gilded bronze, which is skillfully combined with smooth ivory. Ivory is used to depict naked arms, legs, stomach and chest, creating a harmonious contrast between the materials and emphasizing the sophistication and elegance of the forms. The girl is depicted in a dynamic pose, inspired by the author of the historical novel Salammbô by the French writer Gustave Flaubert. The sculptor depicted Salammbo in bronze, a priestess of the goddess Tanit, radiating the expression and grace typical of the Art Deco style. Each element is carefully worked out, conveying the liveliness and energy of movement. Graceful lines and elegant forms emphasize the aesthetic value of this sculpture. On the bronze part of the figurine is the signature FATORI, which confirms the authorship and high quality of execution. The sculpture is accompanied by a CITES certificate, certifying the legality of the use of ivory, which adds additional value and significance to this work of art. Dimensions: Height 340 mm, Width 280 mm. Chryselephantine technique. Materials: bronze, ivory. Weight: 2.5 kgThis sculpture not only illustrates the sculptor`s skill in working with bronze and ivory, but is also a striking representative of Art Deco - a style that emphasizes decorativeness and functionality.
