Supernatural Being, Pre-Columbian Gold Pendant, Costa Rica, circa 800 to 1500 AD
Located in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon
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...

Museum Quality Pre-Columbian Gold Twin Figures Pendant, circa 800 to 1500 AD
Located in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon
Southern Costa Rica/Western Panama, circa 800 to 1500 AD. Gold Veraguas-Chiriqui-Diquis twin figure pendant cast by the lost-wax (cire perdu) grasping an imaginary club with their claws, with bat ears and pop out eyes and each figure ending in the shape of a jaguar tooth, symbolizing the power of the jaguar and the ability to see in the dark; The casting process did not go entirely smoothly. Part of his mold, on the side of the proper right figure (viewer's left side), did not fill with metal. The Pre-Columbian goldsmith carried out a superb repair, probably making a wax patch and pouring gate on the gold pendant, then enclosing it in a new mold and pouring in more metal. The patch is hardly visible on the outside. A modern goldsmith, who cannot do it as well, would use his gas torch to solder on a patch. The gold is of such high grade or karat, possibly unalloyed native gold...

Three Prehistoric Neolithic Flint Cores
Located in London, GB
Three Flint cores or 'Livres de Beurre'
Late Neolithic, 3rd millennium B.C.
Flint
With their rugged forms and deep golden-caramel exteriors, these exceptional ‘livres de beurre’ (‘pounds of butter’) represent remarkable artefacts from Late Neolithic France. These objects, local to Grand-Pressigny, are named for their resemblance to the slabs of artisanal butter produced in the region. These objects are in fact flint cores; the stones from which long, sharp sherds were flaked, to be crafted into blades and daggers, leaving behind the sloping ridges that run along their surfaces, lending these objects a wonderfully tactile quality that calls to mind Jean Genet’s words, describing the works of Giacometti - they are ‘sculptures for the blind.’
Despite their utilitarian purpose, and the almost accidental way in which these flint cores were made, in pieces like this we catch a glimpse of the playful aesthetic sensibility of the Neolithic artisans, in their bold symmetric silhouettes, and in the rich, marbled colour for which these particular stones from Grand Pressigny were chosen, to be mined in the region and sent to workshops all over Western Europe. Unlike other Neolithic tools...
