Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 100CE - 400 CE. An unlikely yet impressive pairing! First, a masterfully carved wooden scepter with monkey finial created by the Nazca. In the Pre-Columbian world the monkey was thought to mediate between man and the supernatural. How appropriate! After all, the leader or shaman who wielded this scepter was likely perceived to commune with the supernatural realm. Custom, museum-quality stand. 15"H x 2"W
Provenance: Ex-Westermann Collection, Germany
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 500 BCE - 500 CE. Next, we have an elaborately and finely carved openwork shell ornament by the Colima, from the shores of West Mexico. Positively exquisite and a wonder that something so precious and delicate has survived the tests of time! Custom, museum-quality stand. 3-1/2"D
Provenance: Ex-Private Arizona Collection
