Catalogue Note
Cette monumentale poulie de métier à tisser sculptée en deux éléments - porteur symbolisé par l'étrier, masque-heaume rapporté - traduit toute la puissance exaltée par le masque de Guli à tête de buffle, lors des danses nocturnes durant lesquelles il devait chasser les mauvais esprits et paralyser le pouvoir des sorciers. Patine sombre légèrement croûteuse, brillante sur les reliefs. cf. Sotheby's (New York, 17 mai 2007, n° 11), pour la poulie (dont seul le masque a été conservé) de la collection Saul et Marsha Stanoff ; Sweeney (1935 : pl. 140) pour celle de la collection Louis Carré, et Sotheby's (Paris, 15 juin 2011, n° 10), pour celle, monoxyle, de la collection Léonce et Pierre Guerre.
