- JUDITH BROWN "RED TREE" MONUMENTAL METAL
JUDITH BROWN "RED TREE" MONUMENTAL METAL SCULPTURE Judith Brown (American, 1931-1992) "Red Tree," monumental welded metal sculpture, whimsical twisting and turning form with branches bearing leaves, originally conceived as scenic design for a benefit dance performance for El Salvadorian children called ?Flowers from the Volcano: An Evening of Dance and Poetry? at BAM [Brooklyn Academy of Music]. The program included performers from the companies of Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, and Bill T. Jones, among others. Overall: 120" H x 90" W x 48" D. Note: The tree was stage left throughout the performance. As dancers performed and the poetry of the children was read (in between the dance pieces), the removable leaves of the tree were brought and placed symbolically onto the trunk, representing growth and renewal.
- TAINO (C. 1000-1500 CE) RITUAL BURIAL
TAINO (C. 1000-1500 CE) RITUAL BURIAL MASKTaino (c. 1000-1500 CE) Ritual Burial Mask . A ritualized burial mask made of light colored serpentinite. Undecorated concave back. Stone masks are believed to be characterized portraits of deceased caciques (chiefs) or elite Taino hierarchy. They were probably used as temporary grave markers. The Taino tradition of burying the body until it deteriorated so the bones could be placed under the floor of a relative's house was a long held tradition. The carved mask would be ritually moved from the exhumation to the caney or lodge used to store ceremonial items. It would be kept as an ancestral memory device used to recount cult histories. Provenance: Larry Roberts, author of Taino Sculpture: Art of the Gods. Acquired from Pre-Columbian Art ξcollector Thomas Villanova (Miami and El Salvador) in the late 1960s. Size: 11'' x 7'', 28 x 18 cm. Height on Stand: 9", 23 cm.

NOÉ CANJURA (SALVADORAN/FRENCH 1922-1970) A PAINTING, "...NOÉ CANJURA (Salvadoran/French 1922-1970) A PAINTING, "Sous les Ombrelles," 20TH CENTURY, oil on canvas, signed L/L "Canjura;" 17 3/4'' x 14 3/4'', framed 25 3/4'' x 22 3/4''. Note: Noé Canjura is one of the most acclaimed Salvadoran artists. He was born into a poor, landless family in the village of Apopa, but he showed talent and his parents kept him in school. In the evenings he worked at a sawmill in order to supplement his family's income, but he finished school and in 1942 began his formal artistic studies at the Academy of Painting Valero Lecha in San Salvador. He was soon showing at exhibitions throughout El Salvador and Guatemala. In 1948 he traveled to Mexico City to learn from the great Mexican masters and in 1949 he moved to Paris to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. France became his adopted home and his work began to incorporate ideas from the French Post Impressionists and mid-century modernists. He exhibited regularly at important salons and his reputation grew and solidified. He continued to show his work internationally and between the years 1959 and 1965 the city of Paris purchased four of his works for its permanent collection. He died in 1970 at the age of 48.

- TRANSLATED MAYA COPADOR CYLINDER W/
TRANSLATED MAYA COPADOR CYLINDER W/ STUCCO, TL'DPre-Columbian, Central America, El Salvador, Maya, Copador, Ruler 13, ca. 724 to 726 CE. An exemplary pottery cylinder vessel boasting an incised band of glyphs, painted motifs, and impressive remains of white and red stucco decoration. Just below the flared rim, a horizontal band of elaborate glyphs encircles the exterior stating the Maya dates of the vessel's creation, 6 Ahaw 8 Keh or September 27, 724 CE to 11 Ajaw 18 Sak or September 17, 726 CE, placing it in the reign of Ruler 13, Waxaklajuun Ub'aah K'awil also known as 18 Rabbit. It additionally reads "the vessel of Yax Kuk Mo," which interestingly adds a bit of mystery as Yax Kuk Mo was the first ruler of Copan and died in 437 CE, thus could not have owned the vessel. Intricately painted designs further embellish the exterior, showcasing a register of right-facing seated figures - perhaps scribes - near the bottom and 2 rows of a twisted vegetal pattern that flank the broad band of white stucco at the center. Size: 7.5" Diameter x 10.7" H (19 cm x 27.2 cm)
The painted motifs atop the relief glyphs indicate that these were added at a later date after the vessel was painted.
Copador pottery was manufactured at Copan and traded widely throughout the southern Maya region. This particular style was created by artisans specifically for export, and was probably made to combine popular elements in Maya decoration to increase their value. By repeating certain styles, the artisans creating bowls like this reinforced ceremonial ideas. This is a fascinating piece of history that tells us a great deal about the Mayan economy and society!
This vessel has been photographed as part of the Maya Vase Database of the Kerr Collections on the website for Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. as Kerr number 9130.
Translation done by the renowned researcher of Maya civilization Dr. Stephen D. Houston, who is Dupee Family Professor of Social Science, Professor of Anthropology, and Professor of History of Art and Architecture at Brown University.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report is available to the buyer upon request.

- MAYA TRIPOD BOWL W/ DIGNITARY, GLYPHS,
MAYA TRIPOD BOWL W/ DIGNITARY, GLYPHS, KILL HOLE**Originally Listed At $2000**
Pre-Columbian, Highlands (Chiapas, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador), Maya Late Classic Period, ca. 500 to 800 CE. A fabulous pottery tripod dish boasting the tondo of a seated dignitary and a ceremonial kill hole at the center. Hair pulled back by an elaborate, plumed headdress, the royal sits cross legged atop of platform and looks left, gesturing with one arm held straight outward and the other bent at the elbow. He is bare-chested, wearing only a loincloth, yet still heavily adorned with bangles, earspools and a beaded necklace. His determined countenance is classically Mayan, with a prominent nose and long, sloping forehead, representing beauty ideals that real Mayan lords may have cosmetically altered themselves to achieve. A glyph of 4 circles is painted before him, and a second symbol of a ring with extending lines is featured behind his head. Around the gently sloping rim is a series of glyphs, likely dedicating the vessel, while all is supported by 3 petite feet that previously held rattles. Size: 12.6" Diameter x 3" H (32 cm x 7.6 cm)
Elaborate plates like this one were designed to be instantly distinguishable from those used for everyday eating or drinking - not just in decoration, but also in quantity produced, making these a much rarer find than a piece of domestic pottery. Instead, a bowl like this one would be ritually "sacrificed" by having a hole put through its center, as seen in this example. It would then be placed into a tomb as an offering.
For the Maya, extraordinary ceramic items like this plate were gifted to elite individuals, akin to the gifts exchanged between high profile dignitaries today. Plates were a functional gift, their iconography created by artist/scribes who came from elite families and who took pains to recreate the stories of Mayan mythology and religion as well as to depict royal and godly personages in their artwork. These depictions reinforced the ruling ideology and reminded the viewer of what was valuable in Mayan society. Today, they teach us about the stories that were important to the Maya and also give us clues to how elite people lived and dressed. Scholars have painstakingly worked to decipher the meaning of the iconography and glyphs painted on cylinder jars and we know much more about them than we did even twenty years ago.
