Colima Shaman Head Effigy Vessel
Ancient Pre-Columbian Shaman's Head from Colima, Mexico, Comala Type, ca. 100 B.C. - 200 A.D. Earthenware pottery vessel in brown and red slip with Shaman's horn on forehead; large "coffee bean" eyes and mouth that appears to have been sewn shut. Lifesize at 8-1/2"H x 8-1/2"W, professionally repaired at bottom, back and sides of head, at rim, and tip of horn; but the face (including nose) is intact and untouched, as are the ears (although a crack line and some over repair along it exists on left ear). A stunning example!

PROVENANCE: Ex-private San Francisco, CA Collection, ex-Charles Campbell Gallery, CA. Exhibited and published in "Twenty-Five Treasures," Fall 1997, no.9. In private northern California collection since the late 1960s.

Authenticity Guaranteed
