Aztec Ceramic Pipe: Ex Dr. Heflin Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Americas: Pre Columbian: Pottery: Pre 1492 item# 859705 (stock# LS200914)
click for details		Ancient Artifacts 801-633-3131 $695.00
This is an extroadinarily rare Aztec ceramic pipe. There are only 3 others of this earliest type known to exist. It was found by Dr. Allen Heflin on 12/2/60 in Cuautitlan, Mexico. The end of the stem has been broken off and appears to have been glued back on. This is not the prettiest of the 4 pipes I have listed, but it is the oldest likened unto Paleo vs. Archaic. I have what I believe to be the largest and finest collection of Aztec pipes in private hands.

This extremely rare and beautiful incised Aztec pipe was found by the famous Dr. Allen Hefin in western Mexico on 5/31/70 and he so inscribed on the bottom. This piece is flawless in every way. The patina is wonderful. It is 4" long, the bowl is 1". Very few authentic Aztec pipes are found in private collections.

If you own the finest Columbia River Gem Point collection, this will be your centerpiece. This is the only precious fire opal point from the Columbia River known to exist. Even today the arrowhead's flame-like iridescence takes the breath away. This point was found in 1955 at the foot of Hart Mountain, Crump Lake area, Oregon, by Bob Rock, a hunting partner of the late Carrol Howe and found in his presence which I verified with a telephone call to Carrol. Carrol wrote four books on northwest ...click for details

click for details		Ancient Artifacts 801-633-3131 $4000.00
This Olmec maskette is 1 7/8" long, 1 5/8" wide and 1" thick. It has been in a fire with mild damage to one back edge which lends to its authenticity. It is made from Fuchsite which was used by the Olmecs. Fushsite is a form of mica which can readily be seen in the pictures. This piece was almost certainly used in magical shamanistic ceremonies. I just couldn't get a decent picture of how this piece reflects light. It is emerald green, highly polished and the speckled surface ...click for details
