Around 2" in size. Excerpt: Pottery manufacture was known in Central America by 2000 BCE, although glazing and the potter's wheel were never known. Pots were either fashioned by hand or mould-made and fine polychrome highly burnished wares were being produced by the early centuries CE. The variety of form and decoration is immense. Most standard forms produced in the Old World with a potter's wheel were common: plate, bowl, jar, vase and beaker with many elaborations of these. Pottery was decorated in a variety of different methods, from stamping, incision, excision, and applique in geometric designs, to polychrome painting of ritual scenes with dignitaries, prisoners and slaves. These latter were especially common in Maya ceramics. Among the most beautiful wares produced were those from the Mixteca-Puebla culture in Mexico. Later taken over by the Aztecs, it manufactured a type of lacquered polychrome of mainly geometric motifs. Effigy urns and vases were also popular, depicting a variety of human, animal and imaginary characters. 325 / 2087 sold -

Excerpt: After the rise of complex societies in the Valley of Mexico, by about 200 CE one emerged supreme. Teotihuacán was founded about 100 BCE, but by about 300-700 CE it had grown to become one of the world’s preeminent cities in size and culture. Teotihuacán was arranged along the mile-long Avenue of the Dead, at the north end of which stands the Pyramid of the Moon and on the east the massive Pyramid of the Sun. To the south was the Ciudadela, within which is the Temple of Quetzalcoatl with its facades of alternating feathered serpents and rain gods. Beyond the city’s monumental axis sprawled the neighborhoods of Teotihuacán, with areas of craft specialization and homes of elites with beautifully painted murals. At its height about 600 CE, Teotihuacán, with a population of up to 150,000, might have been the largest city in the world. Its influence extended broadly across Mesoamerica. Following the fall of Teotihuacán about 750, subsequent civilizations in the Valley of Mexico included the Toltec at Tula, Hidalgo, ca. 900-1200, and the Aztecs, 1325-1520, at Tenochtitlán, now Mexico City. 330 / 2087 sold -

Excerpt: Mesoamerica is that area defined by related contiguous cultures from the arid areas of northern Mexico to the tropical areas of Guatemala and Honduras in the south. The area encompasses great ecological, linguistic and cultural diversity. It is one of the regions of the world where the agricultural revolution arose independently, and the great civilizations of Mesoamerica were built upon foods such as maize, beans and squash. Beginning about 6,700 BCE in the highlands and river valleys of central Mexico, selective harvesting and then purposeful planting of teocinte, a wild early relative of maize, led over time to the cultivation of corn and development of agriculture. Similar selection and cultivation of beans, squash and other plants led to one of the world’s great agricultural revolutions. The origins of village life led to population increase, specialization of labor, craft production, religious hierarchies, architectural traditions, writing systems, astronomical observations, calendars, and long distance trade. Ultimately, complex, stratified urban societies developed in various regions of Mesoamerica, including Central Mexico, West Mexico, the Gulf Coast, Oaxaca, and the Maya area. Each made distinctive contributions to Mesoamerican civilization, and to the heritage of all humankind. 344 / 2087 sold -

Excerpt: Pottery manufacture was known in Central America by 2000 BCE, although glazing and the potter's wheel were never known. Pots were either fashioned by hand or mould-made and fine polychrome highly burnished wares were being produced by the early centuries CE. The variety of form and decoration is immense. Most standard forms produced in the Old World with a potter's wheel were common: plate, bowl, jar, vase and beaker with many elaborations of these. Pottery was decorated in a variety of different methods, from stamping, incision, excision, and applique in geometric designs, to polychrome painting of ritual scenes with dignitaries, prisoners and slaves. These latter were especially common in Maya ceramics. Among the most beautiful wares produced were those from the Mixteca-Puebla culture in Mexico. Later taken over by the Aztecs, it manufactured a type of lacquered polychrome of mainly geometric motifs. Effigy urns and vases were also popular, depicting a variety of human, animal and imaginary characters. 374 / 2087 sold -

Most standard forms produced in the Old World with a potter's wheel were common: plate, bowl, jar, vase and beaker with many elaborations of these. Pottery was decorated in a variety of different methods, from stamping, incision, excision, and applique in geometric designs, to polychrome painting of ritual scenes with dignitaries, prisoners and slaves. These latter were especially common in Maya ceramics. Among the most beautiful wares produced were those from the Mixteca-Puebla culture in Mexico. Later taken over by the Aztecs, it manufactured a type of lacquered polychrome of mainly geometric motifs. Effigy urns and vases were also popular, depicting a variety of human, animal and imaginary characters. 377 / 2087 sold -

Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico, Guerrero region, Mezcala culture, ca. 400 to 100 BCE. An incredibly rare example of a highly stylized animal effigy, hand-carved from mottled dark grey stone with light grey and beige inclusions. Traditional Mezcala stone sculptures feature a characteristic sense of stylization and abstraction that helped to influence the artistic stylings of minimalist and surrealist artists in the 19th and 20th centuries. 392 / 2087 sold -
