- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Gulf Coast of Mexico, Veracruz, Remojadas, ca. 600 to 900 CE. An exceptional terracotta figural whistle depicting a musician standing atop two attenuated legs and holding a drum in his left arm as he raises his right hand in a "halt"-like gesture. Topped by an elaborate headdress comprised of a central spiked mohawk and two horns, his expressive visage displays a sizable, buck-toothed smile, a prominent pointed nose with delineated nostrils, and a pair of closed eyes. The ancient figure is heavily adorned with a pair of bracelets, a beaded belt, a rectangular loin cloth, a chest piece comprised of two horizontal strips, and a yellow-painted jaguar mask. Alternatively, the verso of the figure exhibits a conical mouthpiece through which one can blow to produce a marvelous, high-pitched tone. Size: 6.125" W x 6.5" H (15.6 cm x 16.5 cm); 6.75" H (17.1 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-W. Knox collection, Arizona, USA; ex-Eisermann collection, Texas, USA, before 2002
