Sinu Gold Birds on Perch, 22 gr., ex-Arte Primitivo

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Columbia, Sinu, ca. 800CE - 1500CE. Lost wax cast gold finial with three birds standing together on a perch, having long, slightly curved beaks and short fan tails. Attachment socket extending from the rear of the perch. Rich symbolism as sky animals were associated with the celestial sun, moon, and Venus by the ancients of the Americas. Birds were believed to act as messengers between humans and their deities. Most of the celestial deities had winged disguises. Unusual to have a trio of birds. Moreover, the gold shows high karat hues and is nice and hefty. 22 grams to be precise. Fabulous provenance to boot! Custom, museum-quality stand. Miniature size of 1-1/2"L x 1-1/16"W

Provenance: Ex-Private Danish Collection, Ex-Arte Primitivo (auction 54, June 1, 2010, lot 522)

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
