Collection of 45 Mesoamerican Pottery Spindle Whorls

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Mesoamerican, ca. 750 to 1500 CE. This is a collection of 45 decorated baked clay spindle whorls, or malacates as they are known in both Spanish and Nahuatl. They come in a variety of colors: black, cream, grey-green, and different shades of brown and red. Each has a unique design. Spindle whorls are perforated disks that were used in the production of spun fiber, and as a result are the most common evidence for the production of textiles in pre-Columbian Latin America. Each has a hole in the center and could easily be used to make jewelry. Size of largest: 1" in diameter (2-1/2 cm).

Provenance: Ex-private Houston, TX collection acquired at auction or local gallery between 1982 and 1994.

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.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.
