INCREDIBLE MINT SOCORRO EFFIGY, C. 1150AD  9.5 " TALL

Two uranium miners west of grants New Mexico found this incredibly rare Socorro effigy in 1960 while searching small cave on their lunch break. After that, it sat on the mantle of one of them until I purchased it in late November 2003. Nothing could have been done better by it’s creator…the form and artwork are simply perfect. There is even a wonderful image of a humann on the handle. It is 100% original, intact, no restoration and not even cleaned. This is the best “original find” effigy to come on the market in well over a decade, maybe more. One extremely knowledgeable dealer in the business for 30 years stated that it may be the largest intact effigy he has ever seen (9.5” tall and 9.25” long). Very serious inquires are encouraged.
