Knop van beige hoorn, gebogen, eindigend in een scherpe punt c. 1900 - 1930

This beige horn, bent into a sharp point, was crafted by an artist named Gelria. I love how the colour is so subtle, almost blending into the background, making the form the star of the show. Looking at this piece, I’m struck by its smooth, almost polished surface. You can see the tool marks, the subtle textures that tell a story of its making. The colour is so rich, it’s incredible, it invites you to touch it and feel the weight and density of the material. Notice how the tip tapers to a delicate point, while the base remains solid and grounded. It's a beautiful balance of tension and release. It reminds me of some of Brancusi’s sculptures, where he pared down forms to their essential elements. This horn is like a distilled version of something wild and untamed, captured in a single, elegant curve. Art is always speaking to each other, across time and space, and this piece is a beautiful example of that ongoing conversation.
