Description

Pre Columbian carved alabaster alligator/crocodile. Very heavy. Found in Tuscon AZ in 1952. How this piece got to Arizona and was found while digging canals is beyond me. It surely was not a trade item as it is so heavy, but without a doubt it was found in Tucson in 1952 and was from the Grant O. Tevis collection (Capt. James H. Tevis for southwest background) This was Grants' Grandfather. 35.00 DOMESTIC SHIPPING AND INSURANCE.
