Lot 113
Donated By: Donick Cary, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley)
New World, Mexico, Spanish Colonial Style, 19th century CE. A dark, almost cherry-colored wood panel, perhaps part of a room screen or a bed, that features dense relief carvings depicting the Garden of Eden. The composition is horizontal on one face of the panel, suggesting that it is not a door. In the center of the panel is a tree with large, heart-shaped fruit hanging from its lush branches and a snake with a forked tongue wrapped around its upper trunk and branches. Standing below the tree are a woman and man wearing leaves, placing the depicted moment after the Fall, when Adam and Eve have become embarrassed by their nudity. Around them in glorious profusion are swirling vine, fern, and fruit motifs and, in the upper left (facing) a dove carrying a heart-shaped piece of fruit. This is set within a border of repeated scrolls. Size: 0.6" L x 60.75" W x 36.25" H (1.5 cm x 154.3 cm x 92.1 cm)
Provenance: private D. C. collection, California, USA; D. C. is an Emmy Award winning Hollywood writer and Executive Producer, collected before 2000

Making music happen since 2009
Today, Musack's mission is to give kids and teens a voice through music by providing guitars, drums, and support for music teachers - wherever the need arises.
But back in 2009, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer Donick Cary (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley) began Musack with a simple vision - raise money to fund musical programs for his hometown high school on Nantucket Island. After a rash of teen suicides on the island, Donick thought about how he and his friends got through their teen years. Music.
Musack continues to make music happen around the world with support from people like you. All lots offered for sale in todays fundraising auction have been donated by celebrities, non-celebrities, and local businesses. Help us help our kids - bid high, bid often!
