About the Item
Prehistoric majestic seated drummer figurine from Nayarit, West Mexico. Sporting a nose ring, complex ear ornaments, armlets and an open mouth that would seem to indicate a 'singing' drummer, this seated polychrome figure (CLP33) is attributed to the Nayarit of West Mexico, Ixtlan del Rio style, dating Circa 300 BCE - 300 CE. Tested by the Ralf Kotalla Lab in Hamburg, Germany, it has been determined to be 1800 years old (plus or minus 300 years). Overall good condition. Estimated 15% good restoration mainly on the buttocks and thighs before entering the United States in the mid 1970s. Minor chips and dings - a tiny piece gone from right ear piece, two small chips on upper rim of loin cloth, the end of the fish shaped drum stick is missing, and the top fin chipped, a couple of small knobs on right arm band gone, and missing left nipple. Three small drill holes where the samples for the test were taken on the broken end of the drumstick, the butt, and the shoulder back. This piece would make a statement in any collection. Ex. Claudia Proto. Certificate of authenticity included along with lab report. 14"H Ex. Hank Johnson Collection. Hank Johnson was a geologist, and passionate collector of historical and ancient artifacts. Starting with relics and bottles from ghost towns, he later focused on Anasazi pottery, Pre-Columbian, Egyptian and Sumerian pieces. He worked with the Denver Art Museum to verify authenticity, building a respected reputation in the collecting community. View the entire Hank Johnson Collection under Special Collections “Johnson.”
