Victorian miniature painting on ivory

Wonderful exotic miniature painting of a woman and child. Circa 1890s Orientalia. The piece is signed in the lower right corner, the signature looks like “A Dussi.” About 2 3/4 inches by 2 inches, the painting is in very good antique condition with only the normal light curving of the ivory. Currently the little painted panel is mounted in a simple metal frame.

Vintage glass intaglio earrings with Saint Gonzaga

I believe these are Mexican or perhaps Spanish. I think the image on the underside of the glass is Saint Gonzaga as his attributes are a human skull and books, as here. Each earring measures about 1 1/4 inches long without the pearl dangle. Assume the pearls are cultured. Marked on the back of each, STERLING, 925.

Old pawn silver and turquoise ring

A simple, classic, 1930s old pawn, early Harvey era ring. As expected, the natural turquoise has darkened, leaving a few bright blue spots of harder turquoise. Lots of appropriate wear – the bezel is worn and the arrow stamps on the side of the split shank are nearly worn off.

Classic tramp art box

Just a great tramp art box. About the size of the cigar box that the pieces came from, the folk artist layered pieces to create additional designs on all sides and the top of the box. Probably made as a jewelry box, it is lined with purple satin. Other than the expected wear, mostly to the satin, the box has no problems, just the irregularities of handmade things. The lid is decorated with four squares – the top two set as diamonds, the bottom two as squares. You can see that the bottom right square sat at the wrong angle for awhile so the patina reflects it’s change of position – there’s a diamond-shaped shadow.

Large old Navajo pitched water jar

Hard to find in the larger, utilitarian sizes, this jar measures about 12″ tall by about 9″ wide. The basket was made with braided horsehair handles woven in and then the basket was coated and sealed with pine pitch. An old piece, I think it has gotten hot various times over the years and the pitch is a bit gloppy and puddling around the base. Normal enough for this area – our adobe walls get thicker at the base over time as the adobe settles. Speaking of which, see another great southwestern item that we have for sale, an original New Mexican adobe brick mold.
