The Shaft Tomb cultures of ancient west Mexico created a myriad of fired earthenware objects solely for use in funerary rites. Placed deep into tombs cut through living rock, such figures, like this large example, display postures which can be compared and interpreted with others from the region. This figure shows a kneeling female with a large, mask-like face, right hand placed on left shoulder, and left arm outstretched with prominent, well-modeled hand. This type of pose is believed to repres ...click for details

The pedestal foot vessel carved with guilloche patterns and images of pangolin (manis tricuspis). A deep, blackish brown patina covers the entire vessel, especially the interior, and the surface on the exterior is smooth and shiny from much handling. The contents of such a small container must have been quite potent and special. Early 20th century from D.R.Congo, Central Africa. 5" in height, and in mint condition. Provenance: collection of Peter Pollack, NY and Fl, since the early 1960' ...click for details

This exceptional, life-size head fragment is executed in the Lagunillas, or Chinesco, type D tradition as cataloged by Hasso Von Winning. The delicate and subtle contours have been enhanced with a cream and red paint. Thin, painted lines in a slightly darker cream tone accent the face and recall a wood grain effect. From a monumental figure, the head alone measures 8"H x 6.50"W, and it has been custom mounted. From the Shaft-Tomb region of Nayarit State, Mexico. 200 BCE- CE 300. It is ...click for details

An unusual Northern Dan(?) zoomorphic mask Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: African: Sculpture: Pre 1910 item# 1185195 (stock# T551007)
click for details		michael cichon tribal arts 941.224.0440 Price and further provenance on request
The bush pig, found in the forested regions of West Africa, most likely spawned the use of this type of zoomorphic face mask among the Northern Dan peoples. This animal was the preferred food source at one time in areas free of Muslim influence. However, this mask might have been part of Islamized peoples who used it during masquerades celebrating the end of ramadan, much like the 'do' society warthog masks made by the Ligbi in Ivory Coast. Originally tagged as 'Toma tribe, Guinea, A ...click for details

A fine Khmer stone bust fragment of 'Balarama' Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Sculpture: Pre 1492 item# 1178465 (stock# K108975)
click for details		michael cichon tribal arts 941.224.0440 Price and further provenance on request
This ancient example of Khmer Hindu figurative carving has a wonderfully soft, subtle roundness after eight hundred or so years. The face of the male deity, that is, "Balarama", is very calm and meditative. He is Krishna's older brother, and he is carrying a hoe because he is known as the 'plowman'. Apparently missing the upper right arm since antiquity, the bust fragment is in otherwise very good condition and retains its details very nicely. It appears the nose was damage ...click for details

About 6.75" x 6.75", in mint, intact condition. Provenance: Private Chicago collection since the 1970's.

A Huastec janus form earthenware effigy vessel Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Americas: Pre Columbian: Pottery: Pre 1492 item# 1168817 (stock# H497137)

The Huastec peoples are linguistically related to the Mayas, separated from the peninsular Mayan-speaking groups as early as the beginnings of the Olmec Horizon, circa BCE 1500. One, if not both of the two enigmatic, somewhat lifeless faces seen on this well-modeled and unusually elaborate Postclassic period ceramic may represent the Mesoamerican act of whistling to the storm gods as a petition for soaking rains. This same tradition is documented today in parts of Veracruz and in the Maya world ...click for details
