Pre-Columbian Jade and Gold, Hopi Jewelry from Charles Loloma and More Lead Heritage's Ethnographic Art Auction
June 13 event also boasts significant objects from Burkina Faso and Solomon Islands
This June 13, Heritage's Ethnographic Art Signature® Auction includes outstanding examples of American Indian, Pre-Columbian, and Tribal Art. "This auction brings together an extraordinary range of ethnographic art—from the refined abstraction of ancient Olmec carving to the bold visual language of Cheyenne beadwork," says Delia Sullivan, Heritage's Director of Ethnographic Art. "With over 500 lots, there is something for every collector: accessible works for new enthusiasts and rare, museum-quality pieces with deep cultural resonance."
A Stunning Pre-Columbian Jade Mask
Objects carved from jade were the most valuable possessions in ancient Olmec society, the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica. Jade remains cool to the touch—a magical quality in the tropics—and its blue-green color was associated with water and growing plants, making it a symbol of life-force and agricultural fertility. Elegant masks in the distinctive, idealized Olmec style are among the most iconic artifacts of Mesoamerican art, and Heritage is pleased to offer a stunning, slightly larger-than-life Olmec jade mask, c. 1200-400 BC
, which was in the collection of the actress Merle Oberon. As with famous examples in the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City, this mask's nostrils and earlobes are drilled through, hinting at the possibility of mounting or attachment.

Bid Protection
Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction.
Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed. |
Buyer's premium
A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for bids placed with Heritage for this Auctions is 25% on the first $1,000,000 (minimum $49), 20% of any amount between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, and 15% of any amount over $5,000,000 per lot.. |

Heritage Live! allows you to place late proxy bids and compete live against the auction floor from your PC or mobile device*. We recommend placing proxy bids before the live session in the unlikely event either side experiences technical problems during the auction.
Note: Proxy bidding ends ten minutes prior to the session start time. Live Proxy bidding on Heritage Live now starts within 2 hours of when the auction opens for proxy bidding and continues through the live session. |
