includes swords and all types of edge weapons, armor, pole arms as well as artifacts from virtually every culture including
Viking, Indopersian, African, Oceanic, Japanese, and other Asian. The Mayan Indians of
the Yucatan lived in near total isolation until the mid 20th century
practicing a religion which blended Christianity with Pagan rituals
descended from their ancient religion which included human sacrifice.
One practice which evolved was the ritual killing of an enemy by
stoning a pottery likeness. This example dates to the colonial period,
19th century or earlier and was preserved intact, either not used or
lost in the mud before it could be damaged. 7 3/4 high. It represents
an elderly man seated, clutching his legs in a position of submission.
It has a charming folk character including the resigned expression of
the face. Undamaged, it has light surface encrustation from burial, a
little more prominent on the back and original soil adherence in the
internal cavity. One of just two we have encountered. 08-318 Please note: We do not accept Paypal. A link will be sent at the end of the auction where payment can be made securely by Visa/Mastercard. | |||
