An elegant bottle from the North Coast of Peru, vicinity of the Chicama or Moche valleys, showing four transformational shaman heads - man to feline, serpent, or bird predator. These recall highly similar stone carvings from the contemporaneous Late Chavin culture centered at the north central highland site of Chavin de Huantar. The precise use of these vessels is unclear, but they surely factored in ritual ceremonies and events. Thin-walled, finely-tempered, and burnished ceramic with post-fire ...click for details

A rare type of figurative effigy vessel from the highlands of Colombia with abstracted forms compressed and tense, not unlike a "Jack-in-the-box" toy. Tiny zoomorphic forms hug the edge. Perhaps this effigy form is an allusion to a mythological creation story? Imagery from this region of the Americas is still far from analyzed. The fired earthenware effigy with brick-red and cream paint is both enigmatic and pleasing. It dates to CE 1000-1500. Vessel measures 8.75"H x 6.50"D ...click for details

Made from translucent, gray, Flint Ridge material, this intact example of an early Archaic period (7500 BCE) knife blade shows ancient re-sharpening, indicating long use by the maker. Typical small base type which was 'ground,' or dulled, in order to keep it from splitting the sinew bindings and wooden shaft of the handle. This St.Charles dovetail blade measures 5" L x 1 11/16th" W. It was found in Brown County, Illinois, ca. 1992. Provenance: Ex-Litherland collection, G. High ...click for details
