Description
Donated By: Donick Cary, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley)

Pre-Columbian, Chancay culture, Peru, ca. 800 to 1200 CE. A fabulous bi-chrome earthenware egg-shape bodied effigy vessel, the figure's head depicted on the neck with bulging coffee-bean shaped eyes, a protruding nose, large round ear ornaments, a chocolate brown mask over his eyes, and tattoos and/or a beard adorning its mouth and cheeks - all beneath the conical crown/headdress with applied vertical ridges on the concave, cup-shaped mouth of the vessel. The figure holds a small offering kero (cup) in both hands extending from long applied, coil-made arms in front of his chest. The figure dons a meticulously incised (cross-hatched) beaded pectoral, and all limbs and facial features are delineated in rich chocolate brown pigment on a creamy white ground. Size: 8.75" in diameter x 16.5" H (22.2 cm x 41.9 cm)

Making music happen since 2009…

Today, Musack's mission is to give kids and teens a voice through music by providing guitars, drums, and support for music teachers - wherever the need arises.

But back in 2009, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer Donick Cary (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley) began Musack with a simple vision - raise money to fund musical programs for his hometown high school on Nantucket Island. After a rash of teen suicides on the island, Donick thought about how he and his friends got through their teen years. Music.

Musack continues to make music happen around the world with support from people like you. All lots offered for sale in today’s fundraising auction have been donated by celebrities, non-celebrities, and local businesses. Help us help our kids - bid high, bid often!
