This expressive vintage bronze sculpture was created by Mexican artist Jesús Tellosa and is signed and dated 1999. The work depicts a stylized winged figure rendered in Tellosa’s distinctive figurative language—abstracted yet deeply emotive, with softened anatomical features, closed eyes, and compact proportions that evoke introspection, spirituality, and quiet strength. Cast in solid bronze, the sculpture displays a richly developed surface with natural patina, visible tool marks, and subtle tonal variations that emphasize the artist’s hand and process. The wings, integrated seamlessly into the figure’s form, suggest themes of transcendence, protection, and inner transformation—recurring motifs within contemporary Mexican sculpture of the late 20th century. Jesús Tellosa is recognized for his contribution to modern Mexican figurative art, working primarily in bronze and other traditional materials while embracing simplified forms and symbolic narratives. His work reflects the broader Mexican artistic movement that sought to bridge pre-Hispanic symbolism, spiritual introspection, and modernist abstraction, positioning the human figure as a vessel for cultural memory and emotional resonance. A compelling and collectible example of late-20th-century Mexican bronze sculpture...

Southern Costa Rica or Western Panama, circa 800 to 1500 AD. A very fine example of the goldwork of the Veraguas-Chiriqui-Diquis region. A pendant in Carbonera style of a supernatural being, a composite monster with human torso and feline (probably jaguar) head. The figure is set in a frame decorated with little animal heads, one at each corner. The hands have also turned into animal heads. In place of genitalia is a stylized serpent head suspended by a twisted cord that was supposed to continue across the frame. A minor casting accident prevented it form being attached to the frame. A modern goldsmith would solder in two short lengths of twisted wire, but the ancient goldsmith did not have the equipment to make such repair. A double thread ending in spirals goes across the frame behind the neck of the figure, helping to fill up the frame and avoiding a large empty space. The word "thread" reminds us that the twisted and straight cords were, in the original wax model of the pendant really extruded wax threads, turned into metal by the lost wax (cire perdue) process. The braid pattern on the frame is illusory, just two twisted threads of extruded wax laid side by side. The goldsmith made the toes out of extruded wax thread too, very decorative as well. The piece comes with a certificate of authenticity by Mr. Robert Sonin, 5 May 2006. ref. photo roll 3301. A world renowned expert on Pre-Columbian Artifacts...
