Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Veracruz, ca. 100 to 1000 CE. This is a small figural bust that doubles as a whistle. It shows a bitumen-coated face wearing a large headdress, huge ear plugs, and some kind of draped neckwear. The whistle still works! Veracruz pottery from this period is famous for its use of bitumen, which is a form of petroleum found throughout Mesoamerica's southern Gulf Coast in natural seeps. Size: 4-1/4" H x 3-3/4" L x 2-1/2" W (10.8 cm x 9.5 cm x 6.4 cm).

Provenance: Ex-Private New York 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.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

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

#110969
Condition
There is a small repair along the mouth of the whistle, but the front (display side) of the piece is in excellent condition. The bitumen is in good condition and the details of the piece are clear.
