Ancient Ana Deo Figure Wood, aged patina, signs of age, and localized erosion. Flores Island, Indonesia. H: 90 cm Provenance: Yves Créhalet Collection, Paris. This standing figure features a rounded torso, framed by arms that trace a wide arc. The slightly bent knees soften the posture, while the oval head and round eyes accentuate the figure’s expressive presence. The balance between the solid volumes of the body and the spaces created by the arms lends the piece a distinctive sculptural power. On Flores, this ancient figure, known as Ana Deo, represents a protective ancestor associated with homes and shrines. Its presence is intended to maintain the intergenerational bond in keeping with ancestral tradition. General Bibliography: Reimar Schefold (ed.), in collaboration with Steven G. Alpert, *Eyes of the Ancestors: The Arts of Island Southeast Asia at the Dallas Museum of Art*, Dallas Museum of Art, 2013.
