Lot Report

Note:

A label on the reverse of this artwork explains, “After a new Chief had been elected by council, he underwent a ceremony of resuscitation.

All rose except the one who was taking the old chief’s name. They put their hands down to pretend to lift him from the ground, indicating that they drew out of the tomb that great man who was dead and restored him to life in the person of the other, who then rose to his fee, the new Chief.

He is treated as the dead man he represents, so that the memory of good chiefs never dies among them.”
