• OLMEC GREENSTONE BLOODLETTER -
  OLMEC GREENSTONE BLOODLETTER - HUMMINGBIRDPre-Columbian, Southern Mexico to Guatemala, Olmec, ca. 900 to 500 BCE. A charming bloodletting tool called a piercer in the shape of a hummingbird, all hand-carved from mottled blue-green stone with white and beige inclusions. The adorable avian features petite legs tucked beneath the slender body, a pair of drilled eyes, and a massive beak with a once needle-sharp point. With mirror-smooth surface polishing and a pretty presentation, this is a wonderful example of ancient ritual exsanguination! Size: 1.125" L x 0.6" W x 5.25" H (2.9 cm x 1.5 cm x 13.3 cm) The hummingbird - a stunning and unique bird that would have caught the eye of ancient people - was powerfully symbolic in ancient Mesoamerica and is a common feature of Olmec artwork. They are frequently paired with the eagle and hawk, symbols of the sun and warfare - perhaps inspired by the behavior of the real birds, who are territorial and aggressive. Their sharp beaks mimic the bloodletting instruments used in ritual. Unlike the later Maya, we have not found any representations of ritual bloodletting in Olmec art. However, greenstone and ceramic perforators as well as representations of such paraphernalia on stelae and in iconography provide evidence of its practice among the Olmec. For example, a translation of the Epi-Olmec culture's La Mojarra Stela 1 tells of the ruler's ritual bloodletting. Provenance: private Lexington, Kentucky, USA collection; ex-Dr. Jose Medina, Florida, USA, first Dean of University of Florida College of Dentistry, who traveled extensively in the 1960s to 1970s providing indigenous people with Dental care (b.1926 d. 2007), acquired 1960s to 1970s in Mexico and Guatemala 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.

• DON BALKE (B. 1933)
  DON BALKE (B. 1933) "HUMMINGBIRDS"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Hummingbirds" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood Birds and Flowers of the Meadow and Garden Collection "Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Fire Pink" porcelain plate. No other bird has captured the imagination of mankind as completely as the hummingbird. More than 300 species of these little flying jewels have been identified; North America is fortunate enough to claim 16. In the spring, the annual rites of passage begin and the hummingbirds zip northward out of Mexico into the United States. Some will lay over at various locations for several weeks, while others will push on, driven by instincts that are eons old. Flower nectar, tiny insects and sugar water from feeders provide the energy to push onward. Bird-watchers are enraptured by the little birds, with their bright coloration, extraordinary flying antics and minute size. These three factors make the hummingbird the most unique bird in the world. Image Size: 9 x 8.25 in. Overall Size: 18 x 18 in. Unframed.
