Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. An impressive hand-built pottery conch shell musical instrument with a blow hole at one end. Among the many finely modeled pottery figures created by ancient West Mexican artisans are wonderful depictions of conch shell 'horn' players blowing through conch shells presumably to produce sonorous effects for entertainment and/or ritualistic purposes. Here we have an actual conch shell instrument, replete with a naturalistic form, a smooth redware finish, and the ability to recreate music inspired by the ancients of the Americas. A wonderful blend of form and function with a lovely burnished finish. Size: 9.875" L x 7.625" W x 5.875" H (25.1 cm x 19.4 cm x 14.9 cm)
