This hollow, 9” tall, Pre-Columbian figurine (LLL723) is an attractive representation of a bird-masked and feathered eagle dancer holding a pair of rattles in his left hand, and an unidentified, crescent-shaped object in his right. Found in west Mexico by the late Lynn Langdon in the mid-20th century, the figure is attributed to the Colima horizon dating c.300BC-300AD. An x-ray of the figure indicates some repair, but no significant restoration. In otherwise very good condition, though it is fai ...click for details

HD ENTERPRISES, INC.
303-695-1301


$225.00 

This stone animal head (LLL785), apparently fashioned to represent a tapir, was once at the back or poll end of a fine effigy axe. Broken across the shallow hafting groove that encircled the axe, the head has no other significant damage and by itself is a good example of the skilled Pre-Columbian stone-worker’s art. Measuring 2 ¾” in length, and 1 5/8” in height at the head, the axe is attributed to the Colima horizon of west Mexico dating c.300BC-200AD. Made from grayish green volcanic rock, th ...click for details

$1500.00 

This 8 ½” tall, geometrically painted, ancient polychrome ceramic jar (GLC483) is from the Gene Lang collection. Intact with a small rim chip and significant loss of paint, the bowl shows nicely from one side, and poorly from the other. Lang identified this as a Banshan type from the Gansu-Yang culture dating c.2655-2330BC. The loss of paint could be corrected with professional restoration. This ancient handled jar comes with a small display card and a write-up about the late Gene Lang, primaril ...click for details

$1500.00 

This incredibly well preserved set of Pre-Columbian wood ear plugs (LFG442), on which the geometrically decorated shell and dark greenstone elements are each held in place with an almost invisible touch of contemporary glue, is attributed to the Moche horizon of Peru, c.100-800AD. Not wearable today due to the fragile nature of the wood that has dried and shrunk through the many centuries of entombment, there are certainly few other such pairs that have survived this well.

Measuring 2 3/8” in width and with a 1 3/16” wrist opening, this heavy, ancient cast bronze bracelet (MAP110) is attributed to the early Roman Empire, c.1st-3rd Century AD.
