This ceramic mug is attributed to the Toltecs, C900AD, and appears to be a representation of the rain god, Tlaloc. He was the controller of clouds, rain, lightning, and mountain springs. His kingdom received the spirits of those killed by thunderbolts, water, leprosy, and contagious diseases: it was named the earthly paradise, tlalocan. This mug is 4" high and 3 1/2" wide. It is in perfect condition with no restoration or repair.

Of the over 10,000 artifacts that the late world famous Dr. Allen Heflin found, this little miniature hand-molded ceramic figurine ranks among the rarest. It is from the unattributed Preclassic Period, C1200-900BC. It is 2" long and in perfect condition with no chips or dings. It still has traces of red and white pigment. Heflin found this little treasure on 12-21-60 and is so marked on the back. It is from Cuautitlan. It is wearing ear spools, headdress and armbands.

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.
