Estimate $500 -$1,000. Material Culture is pleased to offer 'A Selection of Chinese Minority Textiles and Artifacts' from the collection of the legendary textile collector, Roger Hollander (1934-2018). Perusing the 315 lots offered, it is clear that Hollander delved deeply and with great passion into the textile arts and material culture of the many ethnic groups joined loosely under the rubric of 'Chinese Minorities'. The great variety of examples he collected could easily fill a museum. Like his stellar collection of Indian trade cloth, now in the Asian Civilization Museum in Singapore, he left no stone unturned. His collection of Chinese minority costumes is the finest in the United States. The majority of textiles and artifacts being offered span the period from the mid-19th to mid-20th century. There are no less than ten outstanding antique Yao priest or shaman’s robes, in addition to twenty-nine other Yao textiles and objects. The panorama of other ethnic groups and sub-groups includes costume, trappings, and ceremonial artifacts of the Li, Raojia, Jing Po, Mulao, Dao, Shui, Maonan, Geija, Buyi, Zhuang, Tujia, Hani Akha, Miao, Yi, Dong, and Sungtu peoples. Works by the Chin people of Burma are also well represented in the collection, including those by the Hakha, Khami, Falam, Mara, Khumi, Laytu, Asho, Zahau and Dai subgroups. This auction represents a rare opportunity to acquire museum quality examples of a category that is still remarkably affordable and likely poised in the future to grow in popularity.
