Taino Double headed vessel. One head is larger than the other and the arm rest next to ear ornaments. The smaller head has shorter arms complying with the head. The two probably reflect the Taino concept of dualism or duel opposition, in this case small to large and similar but different. Made of a marble-like stone heavily included with mica creating a magical shimmer. The reflective qualities of ceremonial stone substantiated the caciques (chief) association with the sun, and regal position. From the Collection of Larry Roberts, author of "Taino Sculpture, Art of the Gods" and "Taino Hallucinogenic Implements, Inhaling the Cosmic Dust." Size: 2.75'' x 5.25'' x 2.75'' (7 x 13 x 7 cm).
