Item Details
Description
The California Museum of Ancient Art is de-accessioning lot #71 (acquisitions # CMAA007-A0014, # CMAA007-A0016 & # CMAA007-A0017) to raise funds for its Ancient Art Acquisition Fund in order to build its growing collections.

A group of three Anatolian Neolithic artifacts. The first is an oval clay stone head of a lion, with drilled eyes and face surrounded by a mane, W: 31mm. The second is a reddish stone phallic amulet, drilled from side to side on end for suspension. L: 2 3/8 in (6.1 cm). The last is a ceramic button stamp seal with pierced handle and base decorated with a central oval surrounded by curved lines. Dia: 35mm. All nice example with light deposits. Part of a single archaeological find of seven artifacts, found with the stone idol in the prior lot. Ex New York private collection, 1989.


The California Museum of Ancient Art was founded in 1983 to gather the first collection focusing exclusively on the Ancient Near East in Southern California. Representing the geographic regions of Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Levant from approximately 3500 BC to 500 AD, the museum's goal is to tell the stories of the peoples of the Ancient Near East and their cultures and to promote a better appreciation for the roots of Western Civilization. The museum aims to do this in a way that is both historically accurate and user friendly and, most importantly, meaningful to the general public. From the influential peoples of Sumer, Elam, Babylon, Assyria, Hittite Anatolia, Canaan, Philistia, Israel, Judah, and Egypt of the Pharaohs to the beginnings of Rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity, the aim is to bring these ancient peoples to life—actively engaging visitors by allowing the museum's ancient artworks and written texts to tell their amazing stories.
