Precolumbian sculpture, 2 headless warriors, Teotihuacán? Mexican art
Precolumbian soldiers in arms. At least their bodies. The precolumbian century was 52 years. At the end of every 52 year period, heads were chopped off many sculptures and new layers were added to many pyramids. Life began anew after 52 years. I think I got these sculptures in Teotihuacán, Mexico(1) Precolumbian. Sculpted, ceramic soldier bodies; most likely 1,500 or more years old. 2) Dimensions. one is approximately 3.5 inches tall. 2.25 inches wide, and.5 inches deep; the other one is approximately 3 inches tall, 2.25 inches wide, and 1 inch deep. 3) Medium. Clay; hard fired under great heat. 4) Provenance. I found many precolumbian sculptures in farmers' fields near the center of the ruins of Teotihuacán. Near Mexico City, in 1966 or 1967, when I was an anthropology student at the Universidad de las Americas in Mexico City. ... moreGenerally, these farmers' fields were rocky and dusty but rain would wash the dust off the rocks and reveal that some of them had faces- and were terracotta heads and not rocks. Many times, after a rain, I would take a bus from Mexico City to Teotihuacán, explore the farmers' fields, and look for those features that were not visible when covered with dust. In this way, I acquired dozens of precolumbian heads. I did NOT personally find any bodies but I purchased some from farmers and local folks. I don't remember exactly where I acquired these soldiers but I think it was at Teotihuacan. It was certainly in Mexico in 1966 or 1967. How to distinguish an authentic precolumbian sculpture from a fake: 1) provinance; know the source; 2) study precolumbian anthropology; see what's in the museums and the books; 3) lick. Or otherwise wet, the object and see how long it takes to dry; ancient ceramics take a long time to dry because they are more porous than new ceramics. Views of these old soldiers show front. From toward the feet, from toward the top, and back.

Precolumbian sculpture pot legs, bundle of 6; painted serpent, etc., Mexican art
Bundle of 6 Precolumbian pot legs. Ancient Mexico. Glaze. Ancient Mexican potters didn’t have glazes so they decorated their pots with: incising(digging into the clay) Slip covers(a thin layer of a different color of clay) firing with dung(the dung burned, turned to charcoal, and blackened the surface of the pot; I watched this process in action in a village in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1965. and painting the finished product. Several of these samples include painted decorations. It’s unusual for the paint to last 1.000+ years. The first pot leg, the serpent, was painted red and black. Two rounded legs have large red spots. The wide leg appears to have an orange slip cover. 1. painted serpent. About 3.75” long, 1.5” at widest point, and 1.25” wide at middle; photos a& b; 2. bundle of 6 pot legs. Photo c; 3. wide one. Photos d& e; 4. red pointed ... moreleg.

Hidalgo, Mexico, with ruler; photo l. 2" x 2" x almost 2" Age- most likely 1.000 to 2,000 years old. Medium. clay. Ceramic, hard fired under great heat. Provenance. I collected precolumbian sculpture from 1965 through 1967 in Mexico when I was a teenager and- from 1966 through'67- an anthropology student at the Universidad de las Americas in Mexico City. I found or bought these pot legs in Mexican archaeological zones(when it was legal to do so; and brought them home to the U.S. when it was legal to do so) The last one. With the ruler, is from Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico.
