| This group of twelve, shown with centimeter scale for size and individually priced, illustrates an assortment of Pre-Columbian shell artifacts from the Dr. Allen Heflin collection (AXH 125R2N4; 185R1.2N3, R1N6, R4N6, R4N7, R7N1; 186R1N4; 192O11; 1069.38; 1242i12; 1405R8N4; and 2862). Each item has been attached to a descriptive card either with water-soluble Elmer’s glue, or with rubberized thread. Included are head images and amulets (jaguar, vulture, human, and dog), a bird, and a few other assorted types (ring, bead packets, pendant, and an Aztec bead). When known, the location where found (west coast, Xico, Gulf coast, Valley of Mexico), cultural horizon (Aztec, shaft tomb, Jalisco, Huastec, Toltec), and age (Pre-Classic, Classic, Post-Classic) are also shown on each descriptive card. Heflin marked some of the items in black ink giving the date (mid-20th century) and location of find. Each artifact 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 our currently listed items from the Heflin collection, simply type AXH 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.
