Description
**Originally Listed at $125**
Pre-Columbian, Post Classic Maya, Mixtec, modern day Mexico, ca. 1200 to 1500 CE (copper bell) and Pre-Columbian, Costa Rica, ca. 1000 CE (ocarina). A small copper bell with a tight design of copper wire and three arms that fold down to touch at the base and resemble leaves; the bell has a loop for suspension. The ocarina is zoomorphic, but what animal it represents I leave up to you - it seems to have many fantastical features. Size of ocarina (the larger): 2.55" L x 1.75" W x 2.15" H (6.5 cm x 4.4 cm x 5.5 cm)
Provenance: Ex-Private Arizona 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.
