Pre-Columbian, Gulf Coast Mexico, Veracruz (Vera Cruz) culture, Remojadas, ca. 600 to 800 CE. A charming mold-formed pottery toy cart with a rectangular body surmounted by an abstract jaguar. The feline lays recumbent with its sinuous tail draped behind the cart body, and the protruding head is adorned with conical earrings and a semicircular crest. A pair of tubular axles beneath the body would have held a wooden axle rod with connected wheels at one time. The jaguar was a highly symbolic animal associated with strength, ferocity, and courage, and its likeness on this toy cart was wonderful for showing children how to be brave and strong. Size: 9.125" L x 4.8" W x 4.6" H (23.2 cm x 12.2 cm x 11.7 cm)
Provenance: ex-private lifetime collection of Dr. Saul Tuttman and Dr. Gregory Siskind, New York, New York, USA, 1980s
