- Lot Description
A lovely gathering of Pre-Columbian pottery works! First: Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Michoacan, ca. 100 BCE. A large polychrome bowl with a cross representing the cardinal directions and stars at the interstices, surrounded by red and chocolate brown bands adorned by white sinuous, curvilinear and circular motifs perhaps representing serpents and eggs. Next: Pre-Columbian, Gulf of Mexico, Isla de Sacrificios, ca. 13th to 15th century CE. A striking polychrome bowl created via a technique originating on Isla de Sacrificios (Island of Sacrifices), a small island located at the entrance to the port of Veracruz the Gulf Coast of Mexico, during the centuries just prior to the Spanish conquest of 1521. Ceramics from Isla de Sacrificios are characteristically decorated with concentric bands in white, brown, and red on a buff-colored background as we see in this example. In addition, this vessel features an abstract hybrid bird-snake, Quetzalcoatl-like deity. Size of largest: 5.1" in diameter x 1.25" H (13 cm x 3.2 cm)
The third piece: Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Michoacan, ca. 100 BCE. Finally, completing the ensemble is a terracotta pedestal cup or possibly an earspool with a red rim and incised markings on the tondo or concave face. A wonderful trio of Pre-Columbian ceramic pieces!
Provenance: private Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA collection; ex-Minerva Gallery; ex-Benjamin Vega, California, USA, acquired in 2006 to 2007; ex-Gene and Virginia George, brought to the USA from 1961 to 1966
