About the Item
This rare and unusual object is a hand-carved coconut done in the Indian city of Goa, during the era of Portuguese colonization. The workmanship of the exquisite carving is superb in every way and shows the highest level of skill. In Goa, evidence of the visual arts can only be seen after the Jesuits arrived in the 1540s. This religious order played a pioneering role in encompassing all expressions of the human spirit. In art, they are irrevocably associated, in our minds, with the most original Indo-Portuguese religious sculptures – worked entirely by local craftsmen – who put their stamp on every piece they worked on. This is evident in the figures, flora and fauna depicted here, including garments, a Madonna and child, baskets of fruit, a man on horseback, hunting dogs and Hindu elders.
