Discover an extraordinary treasure from the personal collection of Professor Cornelius Osgood, the renowned Yale anthropologist and curator whose groundbreaking fieldwork spanned Arctic, East Asian, and Pacific cultures. This distinguished assemblage showcases exquisite carved miniatures from Japan's Edo period, rich with intricate detail, patina, and whimsical artistry that reflect Osgood's deep appreciation for fine craftsmanship. Complementing these are rare pottery pieces, selected for their historical significance and aesthetic rarity, spanning ancient traditions and embodying the tactile beauty of ceramic heritage. The collection is further elevated by exceptional South Seas artifacts, gathered from Polynesian, Melanesian, and Micronesian origins—evocative objects that capture the spirit of oceanic island cultures Osgood studied and admired. Sourced directly from the estate of this esteemed scholar, these items represent not merely objects, but a lifetime of passionate curation, scholarly insight, and global exploration, offering discerning collectors a unique opportunity to own pieces imbued with both artistic excellence and anthropological provenance. This collection also features items and collections from a prominent Las Vegas Dentist estate at the start of the auction.
