A fine El Bosque rattle bowl from Costa Rica, ca. 400 700 AD. This unusual example of a Guacimo Red on Buff Group type is 7 in diameter and features a trio of protruding heads, each containing a rattle. Their formation surrounding the chamber creates an image of reptilian deities surrounding the contents of the vessel. Strong paint, heavy root marks and an old field repair.

An exceptional Moche IV figure from Peru, ca. 450 550 AD. It is 8 high and depicts an elaborately attired individual clad in layered garments. He is portrayed either playing a small drum with a stick in his right hand or stirring something in a container. The way the arms come out from under the mantle, leaving empty sleeves at the sides, is a masterful bit of sculpting. The wrapped headdress is secured with a bow tied at the back of the neck and a bulging coca bag dangles down his back. ...click for details
