Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Trio Of Taino Stone Celts - Ex-Arte Primitivo, 1998

Beschreibung : Pre-Columbian, Caribbean / Florida, Taino people, ca. 10th to 15th century CE. A set of three finely-carved stone hand axes (sometimes called celts) which were meant to be ceremonial objects - part of a ceremonial hatchet called a manaya. One blade is formed from a mottled pistachio-hued stone with darker inclusions, one exhibits a sage-green color, and the last has a chocolate-brown hue. These blades would have been hafted onto a wooden handle, although there are limited examples where the blade and handle are all made form a single piece of stone. The Yoruba African people that the Spanish brought as slaves to the Caribbean found these stones in fields and linked them to the Yoruba deity Shango because of their thunderbolt shape. Size of largest (pistachio stone): 4.125 L (10.5 cm). Similar examples are illustrated in Taino: Art and Culture from the Caribbean, NY, Museo del Barrio, 1998, Fig. 24. The Metropolitan Museum of Art also has a similar example: Provenance: private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection, ex-Arte Primitivo Gallery, New York, New York, USA All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
