- Ancient American "Human Effigy" Stone Paint Pallet, Anasazi Culture 900 ADLocated in South Burlington, VTEarly American Pre-Historic Human Effigy Stone Paint Pallet, Anasazi culture 900 AD All stone carvings from America's Prehistoric southwest are scarce. The majority of known carved stones come from the Mimbres, Hohokam or Casas cultures. So examples of stone carvings from the Anasazi culture (circa 900–1300 AD) are rare especially human forms which are the rarest and some consider most desirable. This pallet is likely unique. The distinguishing characteristic of our paint pallet from the Anasazi culture is its creation from red sandstone- a material that was not used by the Mimbres, Hohokam or Casas cultures. Dimensions: 9.25 inches tall, 4.87 inches wide Quality: it exhibits no less than seven distinct pigment colors on the surface. The obverse has a distinctive head with three dimensional eyes and nose; there are four horizontal bands of color: red, white, dark red/white and black. The center of the pallet has a distinctive white pigment and the border is executed in both red and black. There are two well-defined legs, one red and the other black, which terminate in distinctive feet. On the reverse we find in the center seven clearly defined concentric painted rings, each a different color. Provenance: old New England collection Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our works of art come with our lifetime authenticity guarantee.

- Large Signed Native American Hopi Original Mudhead Kachina Katsina Doll on StandBy Native American ArtLocated in Studio City, CAA wonderfully handcrafted/detailed and decorated Native American Hopi Mudhead Kachina doll. Quite an unusually large work. A striking piece overall. Hand painted with leather and possibly turquoise (necklace) accompaniment. Hopi katsina figures, also known as kachina dolls, are figures carved, typically from cottonwood root by the Hopi people. Initially, kachina dolls were made to instruct young girls and new brides about katsinas or katsinam, the immortal beings that bring rain, control other aspects of the natural world and society, and act as messengers between humans and the spirit world. The Mudhead or Koyemsi figure is viewed as a clown/joker figure who is responsible for laughter and entertainment at Hopi dances and ceremonial events. He plays drums and games to keep his audience engaged. The piece is signed by the artist under the base. From an extensive collection of Native American objects and artifacts. Would be a great addition to any Native American Art...Category
