Lot 173
Pre-Columbian, Costa Rica, ca. 500 to 800 CE. A wonderfully abstract pottery tripod vessel, painted in an earthy red and a bright, chalky white. The vessel itself is simple, with a flanged shoulder and slightly flared rim. The legs are in the form of fantastical animals. Viewed from the side, they appear to be great crested birds with small insects or reptiles on their long beaks. Size: 4.85" W x 4.95" H (12.3 cm x 12.6 cm) Provenance: Ex-Dr. G. Hermann collection, Denver, CO acquired before 1980 Condition: All of the legs and rim have been repaired.

Lot 52C
Ancient Near East, Holy Land, Middle Bronze Age I-II, ca. 2200 to 1750 BCE. A pottery tripod made for placing items in a kiln onto, with small "feet" for raising them above the floor of the kiln and "hooks" for holding it in place. This is a fascinating glimpse into the firing process that created the remaining vessels we have from this period.
