Aside for the overall quality and frequent uniqueness of the artifacts and relics from the Dr. Allen Heflin collection, it’s difficult not to to rank its next most important feature as the extreme care practiced by Heflin in documenting the provenance of almost every one of his approximately 10,000 treasured items. Not all of them were large, or impressive, or complete, or of museum quality, and many were simply the fragments and parts from ritually broken offerings to ancient gods, or pieces re ...click for details

This semi-polished, mottled light gray and green stone bird pendant (PBF211) was found in the shaft tomb region of southern Colombia close to the border of Ecuador and is attributed to the Narino Capuli period, c.900-1400AD. Measuring 1 7/8” in length from the tip of its toucan-like beak to the tip of its rounded tail, it could easily be mistaken as jade, but with a measured specific gravity of 2.78, it is too light to be so identified. Generically still relatable to the metamorphic environment, ...click for details

Measuring 3 ¼” in length, this gracefully shaped, polished, dark greenstone chisel (TEH160) comes without specfic provenance but is believed to be Pre-Columbian in age and was probably found in Mexico by the late Chester Howard. In excellent condition with only a couple of tiny dings on its sharpened bit edge and the corner of its poll, it was most likely used for woodworking and dates somewhere in the period c.300BC-1500AD. The chisel comes with a small display card, a biographical sketch abou ...click for details

Glued together along a simple break and with a damaged leg, this 7 ½” wide hollow legged tripod bowl (PES47) has long since lost its rattles...but not its powerful visual impact! Attributed to the Pre-Classic Chupicuaro horizon of Mexico dating c.500BC-1AD, the bowl is from the collection of the late Brian Safe. With good strong burnished colors, the inexpensively priced bowl can still serve as a handsome type piece and comes with a small display card, a biographical sketch about Brian Safe, a m ...click for details

This 12” tall ‘smiling face’ figural whistle (TEH.F50.4) is attributed to the Veracruz horizon along the Gulf Coast area of Mexico dating into the Late Classic Period, c.550-950AD. The hollow figure, with outstretched arms and filed teeth, wears a necklace of four large disk beads with a cone-shaped center piece that may not be original to the image, or if so, was not very well centered when re-attached (it too has been glued in place). At the top edge of his headdress is the whistle hole (the w ...click for details
