Classic Period, 5th-7th century AD. A carved alabaster mask depicting a naturalistic human face, probably a dignitary or ruler with almond-shaped eyes, open mouth with thin lips, long ears with drilled lobes, broad nose with drilled nostrils; nicely worn from years of handling; natural cracks, inclusions and ancient deposits; two drilled holes on the reverse. See Berrin, K. and Pasztory, E., Teotihuacán: Art from the City of Gods, London and New York, Thames and Hudson, 1993; see Matos Moctezuma, E., Teotihuacán, New York, Rizzoli International, 1990. 200 grams, 10cm (4"). From the private collection of Mrs Maureen Ogle, Coarsegold, California, USA; acquired from a geologist, circa 2008; previously in a west coast collection, since the 1980s; ex Los Angeles collection, acquired in the 1970s-1980s, thence by descent; believed to have been acquired in Mexico, circa 1950s-1960s. The mask would have been created using hand tools; weathering and handling have eroded most of the original tool marks; no signs of modern tool marks or applied patina were found when the item was examined under a microscope. It is smaller than life-size and was probably originally intended for use in a burial ritual; the drilled holes on the reverse indicate that the mask could have been worn as a necklace or in ritual contexts. Fine condition.

An eyepiece lucida.The Wenham Connection: Wenham, Francis Herbert (1824, Kensington – 1908) was a British marine engineer who studied the problem of human flight and later became involved in optics and the improvement of the microscope. He is credited with inventing the ‘Wenham binocular’ microscope, a binocular arrangement copied by almost all 19th century microscope makers. He joined Ross & Co. as an adviser following the death of Thomas Ross in 1870 where he designed his magnus opus - the Ross-Wenham Radial microscope, the largest binocular microscope of the Victorian era.This instrument, as previously mentioned, was originally bought (according to the Beck records by F. H. Wenham) on 2nd September 1853. According to the letter that accompanies the microscope this is Wenham’s prototype binocular microscope which was first exhibited at a meeting of the Microscopical Society of London on the 12th of December 1860 (i). The handwritten letter written and signed by Wenham states: This is the original Wenham’s Binocular arrangement made by F. H. Wenham and fitted by him to his large Smith & Beck microscope, these parts being necessarily detachable having been the first ever adapted. Also a prism for including the full aperture of high power objectives. This letter is further accompanied with an extract from the “Intellectual Observer” (1866) titled ‘Mr. Wenham's New Binocular’ which appears to discuss in detail the high power prism that comes with this instrument. Wenham’s high-power prism was also the subject of a detailed report in the transactions of the Microscopical Society of London in 1866 (ii). The accessory set has a 1/25inch objective in a can engraved Wenham and dated 1856. This very lens appears to have been the subject of praise in the 1857 Microscopical Society of London’s President’s address by the then president, George Shadbolt. It appears to be at the time the most powerful objective ever made.Provenance:1993 - Sold at Christie's South Kensington, Engineering and Scientific Works of Art, Instruments and Models, 6th May 1993, Lot 183 and formed part of the ‘Jacob Collection - an Important Swiss Collector’.1939 – Private sale between Charles A Smith and Mr Alan Connelly in whose collection it remained until his death.1911 - The microscope was sold by Dollond & Co in 1911 just three years after Wenham’s death in 1908.
