Description:

First head: Teotihuacan, ca. 200-800 CE. This ceramic visage's wide eyes, open mouth, and upward look bring this male figure to life. Perhaps he is in the midst of ceremonial singing or simply mid-thought. In addition to the fine carving and hand building, the artist added painted pupils and red pigment on the face. 2-1/4"T x 2-1/4"W x 2"D. Second head: Southern Mexico to Guatemala, ca. 1000-800 BCE. The Olmecoid head is equally captivating with its lively baby face features, stylized coiffure and helmet, jutting jaw line, and large ear spools. 2-3/4"L x 2"W x 1-1/2"D. Third head: Peten, Guatemala, ca. 550-850CE. The Mayan head is finely hand built and carved as well and boasts charming almond-shaped eyes and filed teeth. 2-1/2"T x 2-1/4"W x 2-1/4"D PROVENANCE: Ex Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL All items in this auction have been legally acquired, are legal to sell, and guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
