MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL GORGET W/ COSMOLOGICALMISSISSIPPIAN SHELL GORGET W/ COSMOLOGICAL FIGURENative American, United States, Eastern Woodland, Mississippian, ca. 200 to 1500 CE. This is a beautiful and rare incised and openwork gorget made from a white shell featuring a head in profile with an elaborate headdress. The face, likely male, is incised into the surface wearing intricate knotted and woven adornments: a headdress, earrings, and necklace. The lips are slightly parted- the protruding piece that supports the openwork head, could represent a tongue or beak. The edges of the disc are incised with stippled and linear decoration and the openwork holes enabled suspension to use as a pectoral pendant or gorget. Mississippian shell gorgets are special items for adornment and burial that carried protective powers and iconography of supernatural beings that represented the 3 realms: the celestial Aboveworld, Middle World or earth, and Underworld. Size: 2" Diameter x 0.12" Thick (5.1 cm x 0.3 cm); 4" H (10.2 cm) on included custom stand.

RARE MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL GORGETRARE MISSISSIPPIAN SHELL GORGET W/ COSMOLOGICAL FIGURES...Native American, Southeastern United States, Eastern Woodland, Mississippian, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. This is a beautiful and rare incised and openwork gorget made from a white shell featuring 2 stylized male figures. The discoidal piece is pierced at the top with two perforations for suspension to use as a pectoral pendant or gorget. The figures are overlapping, their bodies diagonally positioned crossing at the waists, the heads facing each other in profile. Both are dressed in ornate headdresses and jewelry, necklaces, bracelets, and waist cloths with beaded or woven patterns that are likely ceremonial attire. The areas of cut outs accentuate the figures and add symmetry to the nearly identical men. Mississippian shell gorgets are special items for adornment and burial that carried protective powers- the cross in a circle was a sacred cosmological symbol of regeneration and the intersections of the Underworld and Aboveworld. Size: 4.5" L x 0.25" W (11.4 cm x 0.6 cm); 5.5" H (14 cm) on included custom stand.

GREEK APULIAN GUTTUS LION HEADGREEK APULIAN GUTTUS LION HEAD SPOUT, EX-CHRISTIE'SGreek colonies, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 325 BCE. A gorgeously preserved, brilliantly painted pottery guttus, featuring a fierce spout in the form of a lion head, a perfectly-formed, delicate loop handle, and a circular depressed strainer on the top center. On one side of the body are two swans or geese, one standing and one sitting, each with their heads delicately bent forward on their long, curved necks. Small white-painted dots near their heads give the impression that the birds are eating something on the ground. Larger circles and flourishes also decorate the surface. A guttos like this example would have been used by the ancients for holding precious oil to fill oil lamps. Lion and swan imagery were both popular in the classical world. Size: 4.8" W x 2.5" H (12.2 cm x 6.4 cm)
