Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A hand-built terracotta flute in the form of a sinuous, slithering serpent with applied details and four pitch or sound holes. In the Pre-Columbian world, snakes and lizards were metaphors for rain and blood, two life-giving fluids. At the same time, serpents were viewed as creatures that portend great danger. Their ability to shed their skin each year, and thus rejuvenate themselves, also made them a symbol of health and renewal. Nicely burnished and still produces a lovely tone. Size: 7.5" H (19 cm); 8.5" H (21.6 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Stagecoach, Nevada, USA collection

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.
