Malinke from Guinea - Perhaps also with Mossi influences Old Heddle Pulley depicting a whole female figure Mood - 16,5 cm Ex Collection Edgard Maguet Edgard Maguet was «Chief Colonial Administrator» between 1908 and 1913 - After that he was Colonial Administrator in French Sudan (Mali and Burkina Faso) in the 1910s, and then in Guinea in the 1920s - He collected objects from Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Dahomey (Republic of Benin) until his return to France in 1937 - This specific piece was collected from him in the 1920s in Guinea & declared as Malinke in his files | records Please note the powerful stance of this figure, very unusual for an African pulley Please also note the high quality of the carving of this hard black wood and all its details, a masterwork certainly made by a great artist - full of interesting scarifications - with a back-side as beautiful and important as its main-frontal part The indisputable importance and rarity of this object are due not only to the quality of its sculpture - They are above all due to the fact that it is the representation of a whole-complete figure, not just a half-bust or a head - And in fact I consider this object not a simple heddle-pulley but above all a truly magnificent sculpture !!!

. MATCHBOX – MODELS OF YESTERYEAR | Y-14 1911 Maxwell Roadster A beautiful piece from the iconic Matchbox Models of Yesteryear collection. The Y-14 1911 Maxwell Roadster was first introduced by Lesney in 1965 and was produced in England until 1973. This classic die-cast model is approximately 1:49 scale and faithfully represents the character of the early American Maxwell Roadster. The turquoise body, black roof, brass-toned details, spoked wheels and rear-mounted spare wheel give this model a distinctive character that makes it instantly recognizable among vintage Matchbox collectors. For me, the presence of its original Matchbox box makes this piece even more special — preserving not only the model, but also a small piece of Matchbox history. Over six decades of Matchbox history, preserved in miniature. . . . . مچ‌باکس – MODELS OF YESTERYEAR | Y-14 Maxwell Roadster 1911 قطعه‌ای زیبا و ارزشمند از مجموعه‌ی کلاسیک و ماندگار Matchbox Models of Yesteryear. مدل Y-14 1911 Maxwell Roadster نخستین‌بار توسط شرکت Lesney در سال ۱۹۶۵ معرفی شد و تولید آن در انگلستان تا سال ۱۹۷۳ ادامه داشت. این ماکت در مقیاس تقریبی ۱:۴۹ ساخته شده و تصویری زیبا از یکی از خودروهای پیشگام صنعت خودروسازی آمریکا ارائه می‌دهد. بدنه‌ی فیروزه‌ای، سقف مشکی، جزئیات برنجی‌رنگ، چرخ‌های پره‌ای و لاستیک زاپاس عقب، شخصیت خاص و دوست‌داشتنی این مدل را شکل داده‌اند. اما چیزی که این نمونه را برای من خاص‌تر می‌کند، وجود جعبه‌ی اصلی Matchbox در کنار ماکت است؛ یعنی حفظ هم‌زمان یک ماکت قدیمی و بخشی از تاریخ بسته‌بندی Matchbox. بیش از شش دهه تاریخ Matchbox، در ابعادی کوچک. #Matchbox #Lesney #MaxwellRoadster #DiecastCollector #AlborzMuseumMaket
