- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Zuni, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. An unusual and large handmade wooden gourd rattle brightly painted with serpentine motifs. The globular gourd body is surmounted on a wooden handle with a fiber cord attached to the tip. Small peddles inside the hollow gourd tumble together when shaken, making a rattling sound. The sound and snake imagery likely helped conjure up the venomous rattlesnake. The central register on both sides features a zig-zag snake in orange, black, and blue, with a red arrow shaped tongue flicking out. Projecting from the sides are two flat panels forming the head and tail end of another snake, painted red with a diamond white line pattern. Tufts of sheep wool have been attached to the area where the panels connect with the rest of the rattle. Size: 14.5" L x 20.5" W (36.8 cm x 52.1 cm); 14.75" H (37.5 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Alamo collection, Alamo, California, USA, before 2000
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.
