Ancient Mezcala Jade Stone Statue Artifact Pre-Columbian Rare Style NR
Hi. I have a very nice Mezcala statue for auction. I own a few different Mezcala figures, and have seen hundreds. This one is different. Most of the Mezcala figures are thicker, this is very thin. It is no more than a quarter inch thick. This statuem was made with an arrowhead drill technique. You can visibly see all the spots all around it where it was hand drilled to cut and scuplt it. This drilling is the same way that they drill out the top of a pendant for suspension. This piece has visible weathering and there is no denying it's age. It dates 200 BC- 200AD. I made the stand to make it more presentable, and it's included. It's a shame that it wasn't recovered with the other leg intact. This came from an old collection. The half dollar is for size comparison only and is not included in this auction. I combine shipping. ... moreThanks for looking.

The Capulí ... morepreceded the Piartal and Tuza cultures in the archaeological record ranging from around 800 to 1500 CE. The Capulí culture left a strong record through its pottery. The Capulí had distinctive black on dark red pottery with rectilinear geometric designs. The anthropomorphic pottery statues of the Capulí can be striking. Women are depicted with a wrap that extends from the armpit to the ankle while men have loincloths and are often shown with an object such as a drum or animal. These figures are often called coqueros because they are depicted with wads of coca leaves in their mouths. Scholars have associated the figures with shamans and possible funerary rituals. Capulí goldwork is similar to that of later Ecuadoran and Columbian cultures. Smiths hammered and soldered high-carat gold into geometric and zoomorphic designs. Capulí graves contained a mix of grave goods including conch shells and stone axes. Some graves in Nariño are extremely deep. As much as 40m.

Awesome Olmec Rare Stone Figure Pre-Columbian Ancient Artifact Mayan NR
Hi. I have an incredible Olmec stone figure for auction. The Olmec figure is laying on his side and he is holding two offering bowls, with his legs behind him. I'm not sure what type of stone this is, but there are parts that shine like mica. I took a picture of the head to show one of the spots. I have seen Olmec figures with offering bowls before, but never two bowls. I feel this is very for a number of reasons: the age 800-200 BC, the type of stone, the two offering bowls, and the fact that it is just plain awesome. There are numerous deposits, and some chipping and weathering. This has been one of my favorites for many years. I acquired this from an old collection. I use a half dollar for size comparison and it is not included in this auction. I can combine shipping. thanks for looking.
Huge Olmec Rare Stone Bead Pre-Columbian Ancient Artifact Mayan Mexico NR
Hi. I have a huge Olmec stone bead for auction. This awesome artifact was used as a massive bead, or possibly a staff top, or some other ceremonial purpose. This isa very solid and heavy piece. I has fantastic patina, deposits, and weathering in areas. In al my years of collecting, I have only seen one or two Olmec artifacts remotely like this in all the years that I have been collecting. It has a very striking appearance. This has always been one of my favorites. I have had it sitting on the shelf by my desk for many years. It obviously took them quite a bit of time to make this over 2,000 years ago. There are scores of chisel and gouge marks all over this great artifact, especially on the inside to hollow it out. Although it was made like a bead, it is so heavy that's why I believe it had some type of ceremonial purpose. This awesome ... moreartifact would be a great addition to any collection.This is a rare piece of history, that now can be yours. I hope the person that gets it, enjoys it as much as I have.

This would have enabled the mass production of certain ... moreforms. But Moche ceramics vary widely in shape and theme. With most important social activities documented in pottery, including war,metalwork, weaving and sex. Traditional north coast Peruvian ceramic art uses a limited palette. Relying primarily on red and white; fineline painting, fully modeled clay, veristic figures, and stirrup spouts. Moche ceramics created between 150–800 AD epitomize this style. Moche pots have been found not just at major north coast archaeological sites, such as Huaca de la luna, Huaca del sol, and Sipan, but also at small villages and unrecorded burial sites as well. At least 500 Moche ceramics have sexual themes. The most frequently depicted act is anal sex. With scenes of vaginal penetration being very rare. Most pairs are heterosexual, with carefully carved genitalia to show that the anus, rather than the vagina, is being penetrated. Often, an infant is depicted breastfeeding while the couple has sex. Fellatio is sometimes represented, but cunnilingus is absent. Some depict male skeletons masturbating, or being masturbated by living women.

SUMMARY Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Here's a very nice drilled Jadeite Bead of the AZTEC CULTURE(ca; 100 BC-500 AD) found years ago near the ancient Teotihuacan pyramids in Mexico's Central Highlands. It's roughly 1 1/8 in. 2.7cm) in diameter and 1/2 in. 2.1cm) thick. It's made of a hard light green stone believed to be jadeite and is highly polished. One side is curved outward. While the opposite side has been worked flat—presumable so it would lay flat against its owner’s chest when worn as a necklace. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this Aztec jadeite bead is the three(3) small. Pictographic symbols that have been carefully etched into the front side of the bead. Under 80x magnification. I can clearly see how they have been scratched into the surface and are not natural occlusions within the jade. I cannot translate these 3 symbols. But I have taken several macro photos of the symbols and posted them with this description. I can only hazard a guess that they are some type of ritual prayer to keep its original owner safe from evil spirit
