KOTAK TAJI - COCKSPUR CASES
|
|
Nicely carved cockspur case, Kotak Taji, in the shape of an owl.
Lombok, wood, before 1940. |
|
1925-1940 |
|
This case is a good example of pure folk art. This was not a decorative object, but at the time in use during the cock fighting. The middle panel shows a deer, most likely to bring the owner luck.
In the case there is room for 6 spurs.
A similar case is shown in the standard book about cockspur cases by Pieter van Donk, Indonesian Cockspur Cases, on page 52.
