Figurine danseur doré
Creators: Carlo Spéder
Figurine depicting an extravagant dancer whose colorful, highly decorative metal gear might suggest ritual or festival attire. The hat is composed of several layers. The first part features a flat iron disk, the edges of which form raised petals. Underneath, fabric bangs emerge: those on the sides take up the aged golden color of the helmet, while those at the back are silver. The second tier is a painted wooden bead, adorned at its center with a broken silver rhinestone. Above, two oval painted wooden beads frame an eight-pointed star, the ends of which are first curved downwards before scrolling upwards. A metal tip of the same color protrudes from the top. The face, in pink-painted wood, features a triangular nose. The figure has wavy eyebrows, fine almond-shaped eyes and a shy smile revealing a tooth. The neck is an articulated wooden bead in the same color. His torso and shoulder pads, made of iron with turned-up tips, are the same color as his hat. Her torso is decorated with rhinestones around the chest and navel. Arms and legs are wrapped in patterned green fabric. Golden bangs are present at the elbows, knees and front of the waist, while the rest of the waist is wrapped in silver bangs. Rows of colorful pearls are found on the hat, torso, forearms, waist and knees. Her pointed feet are made of iron. Its wooden base is covered with a red and beige damask fabric and wrapped in a red and dark blue fabric with geometric and floral motifs similar to CM-Ta-00105, CM-Ta-00106 and CM-Ta-00107.
