The auction Ancient/Ethnographic from Around The World by Artemis Auction is a vivid look into the past. It offers a variety of categories such as decorative, ancient, and fine arts, jewelry, ethnography, fossils and Russian icons. It is a representation of vast cultures from the 18th to the 20th century, providing a privileged look at the 188 selected items.
Believe it or not, the collection offers Pre-Columbian large trumpet made from a single sheet of copper rolled together, making it a true Moche artwork. Metal trumpets were only for the elite to play as Moche instruments were specifically made from cane, wood, shell, and ceramic at that time. Furthermore, Italian Millefiori (mosaic) made from glass beads sits amongst the lots significantly. The piece includes beads, that are totally different in patterns, shapes and colors, and some of them even have sparkling gold or copper-colored glass components.
An item like the 19th-century Mexican wood Santos demonstrations the auction’s amalgamation of history and different styles of arts. It illustrates the biblical, ‘Massacre of the Innocents’. A turn of events where Spanish soldiers killed young infants in the quest of killing Christ by order of King Herod the Great. Find more these truly intriguing items only at Artemis Auctions.
