Small painted square pot with a circular opening at top. All four sides and upper edge are painted with abstract designsmimicking Northwest Coast ovoids and U shapes. Designs are in red, blue, black and white; clay is dark orange-brown. Pot previously broken in half and glued back together. Signed "Klee Wyck" on unpainted base.
Hand-moulded, unslipped clay figure. The male is wearing a tall hat and elaborate circular earrings. He has elongated eyes, and a simple incision denotes the mouth. The nose has been broken. There is a large collar around the figure's neck. He is depicted in ithyphallic form, with his arms at his sides, and his legs held together.
Round, polychrome bowl with three distinct sections. The upper section has a cream slip and dark brown rectilinear design, with both thin and thick lines. A “U” shaped ridge frames a face on each side of the bowl; with protruding noses, painted eyes, mouths, and tattoo-like rectilinear designs. One face has some loss above one eye on the bowl rim. The top and bottom borders of this section have dark brown wave-like lines around the circumference. The upper section tapers outwards towards the mid section. The mid section has an orange-brown slip with a rectilinear design made up of thin dark brown lines and thicker cream lines. The lower section is an undecorated beige colour, which constricts sharply from the broad mid section to a 6 cm flat base. The interior surface of the bowl has a red-brown slip.
Unglazed orange-brown clay candelabrum sculpture in the shape of a spherical tower with church and village scenes. Details are painted in white, dark brown, and orange-brown. The top of the tower has five candle holders: the centre holder is set in the back of a forward facing kneeling cow with two candle holders on each flank and an additional two on arms on the sides. Below this, three ridges around the circumference of the tower have church and village scenes consisting of standing modelled figures and animals with cut out arch, rectangular, and triangular windows. On the top ridge, below the cow, is a large cut-out arch window with eight birds perched on the upper rim. Standing on the sill of the window are three standing figures, the centre figure has a cross on his robes; two additional figures stand outside the window on a ledge. The middle and bottom ridges have village scenes with people, goats?, donkeys, and small rectangular and triangular windows. In the base (17 cm diameter) of the tower is a large cut out arch with a base floor holding a nativity scene: three standing figures wearing crosses on their robes, two kneeling fawn-like spotted ungulates and a central reclining cradle with figure. The tower walls are decorated with painted designs of plants, flowers, stripes, dots and grids. The back of the tower has a C-shaped handle.
A near spherical blackware vessel, with a flat bottom, topped with a stirrup spout. The lower section and outside edges of the stirrup spout are decorated with tight rows of short incised vertical dashed lines and outer surface is covered with a powdery grey-white clay substance. The neck of the spout is a vertical cylinder with a thick slightly flared lip. The neck of the spout, and insides edges of the stirrup, are brown-black.
Pre-Columbian terracotta head, likely of a priest or deity. A break is apparent at the neck, suggesting that this figure had a body at one time, or was attached to a larger object. The head is adorned with a large, braided, trapezoidal headdress. Large, circular earrings hang from the figure's ears. The eyes are heavy-lidded, the nose is wide but broken, and the mouth is open, exposing teeth and perhaps a tongue. The mouth seems formed in a sneer. Clay filler, visible from the back, indicates old repairs.
Terracotta sculpture of a human head. Hand-moulded and light brown-orange in colour, this figure is wearing a thick head covering or headdress containing three large holes and numerous little holes. The headdress was clearly made separately and added to the head before firing. Facial features include slanted eyes, high cheekbones, a broad nose with large nostrils, and a round mouth. There are gaps at either side of the mouth. The nose and mouth are marked with a black substance, which may have formed during firing. The back of this piece is slightly concave, like a mask.
Hand-moulded clay votive figure. Symbolically anthropomorphic, this ithyphallic figure has the rat-like head of an animal, hooves, and an upright human body. Its ears, or antlers, are disproportionately large, and the right one has been broken. A large collar with a simple incised pattern adorns the creature's neck, and this pattern continues part way down the torso. The round eyes, legs, and phallus appear to have been added separately.
Burnished clay figure of a sitting fowl with holes drilled in the eyes, nostrils, and neck. The flat bottom and wings have been roughly formed. The head of the bird is quite detailed compared to the body. The eyes of the fowl are thickly ringed and there are three round protrusions on the back of the bird's head.
Blackware vessel with near spherical shape and wide spout in the shape of a man’s head. Man’s head has a moustache, holes in the ear lobes, and wears a hat that is the flared lip of the spout. The spherical vessel has raised notched ridges on the sides and a flat base. It is decorated with rows of raised dots that radiate out from larger flat circles in the centre front and centre back of the vessel. The raised dot surface is encrusted with a light grey, clay-like powdery substance.
