7016. A RARE JAMACOQUE POLYCHROME EROTIC FIGURE, ca. 500 AD. The vessel in the form of an elderly, or perhaps just unattractive, seated male engaged in the act of masturbation. 3.5 x 3.8". Much original color, a rare museum quality piece expressive of Jamacoque artistic naturalism and concern with all aspects of life. Provenance: From a large New Jersey collection. Purchased by the current owner from a well known and highly reputable Manhattan antiquities dealer in the 1990's. $3000
estimate. |
