| Twelve more of those mystical adornos (AXH 1427R5N2, 1529, 1533, 1541, 1571, 1584, 1585, 1587, 1595, 1597, 1609 AND 1615) collected by the late Dr. Allen Heflin in the mid-20th century and every one site specific (Heflin’s faithful dedication to noting where almost every piece in his huge collection was found is indeed extraordinary, and gives each piece so marked special value). With ruler for scale, each individually priced adorno, or adornment, was initially molded to be added to pots, incensarios and figures. Types shown in this group are: shell; flower, bundled feather; knot; eye; drop of blood or water; trefoil; shield; and a few unknown. To the ancients, each style had special significance: power; protection; god worship; beauty; and more. Any purchase 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 of artifacts from the Heflin collection, 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), just enter only 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. | |||||||||||||||
