| This group of twelve photos (AXH 1517, 1547, 1557, 1564, 1586, 1598, 1601, 1604, 1605, 1607, 1632 and 1635), with ruler for scale, illustrates individually priced ‘adornos’, or adornments, originally molded to be added to pots, incensarios and figures. The types represented in this group are: feathered eye; starfish; trefoil; shell; serpent’s eye; flower; and of course, some unidentifiable styles. To the ancients, each type of adorno had special significance: power; protection; god worship; beauty; and more. Unique in having specific provenance provided by the meticulous Dr. Allen Heflin, who found them all, each comes with a copy of the memoriam to Heflin published in the Missouri Archaeological Society Quarterly, a copy of our biographical sketch telling about both the man and his collection, a map on which appears the highlighted area where the artifact was found, and our certificate guaranteeing authenticity. Select or ask any question by first referring to the Trocadero Number on this page, and the inventory number shown on the given photograph. Any that have been sold will be so-marked. If you’d like to see all of the currently listed carded varieties, simply type AXH.CARD in any of the search links in our catalog, and a complete list will appear. And if you’d like to see all of the various other items listed in our popular group of twelve format (a great way to save on browsing time), enter the single word TWELVE into the search link. If interested only in a particular type, add a descriptive word to your search such as jewelry, pot, textile, gold, coin, etc. | |||||||||||||||
