Material Culture is here to offer treasures from the 18th and 20th centuries. Along with the Asian art and antique sale, Material Culture will present important tribal, folk, ethnographic and textile arts. This auction is led by an important textile art ever showcased in this catalog; Bolivian Aksu Textile which has always been a creative outlet for the Aymara and Quechua Indians in the South American Andes. Added to the collection, from the 19th century, is a bronze sculpture of flute playing Hindu deity Krishna. Amidst the 20th-century items are silver earrings from Himachal Pradesh commonly known as ‘Bali’, Indian folk-art pictorial tapestry, and fine handwoven ceremonial cloth from Bhutan.
