Title: KC is this one of those "Go To Bed" things?
Post by: icedgold10 on November 30, 2013, 03:09:58 PM
I picked this up today and it has the 2 holes on the back of the head.  It is made of clay but no markings.

He,s a bird creature from
The Garden of Earthly Delights"  by the 15th century painter Hieronymus Bosch....look at the bottom right corner of the right hand panel....where you will see it, ogling a pig dressed as a nun.....you can open the pic then zoom in.....for a better look

The Bird creature is just one of many models that you can get,..from the Triptych...I first saw this model, in a shop in Hertogenbosch...in the Netherlands,..the shop is run by a descendant of the artist,

I thought I would give it a shot , haha he has 2 little holes in his head.  I figured he was an incense burner.  I was looking at those Go to bed things and it is crazy what they get for those,
I saw the Westmoreland and loved the colors.  I haven't seen one that color before.  In perfect condition too.  Jumped right on that one. Heres a pic of the inside,

Wouldn't it be a great find to get one of his original paintings?  Very complex.

He had a very interesting mind to create such elaborate pieces.  He was way ahead of his time.

I sent pictures of my incense holder to Edgar Owen he is an expert on Pre Columbian art.  He writes back "Mexico, c. 1000-1500 AD. Value maybe $250-$350"..  I'm really happy with my incense holder that I got for $5 now!   :) :)

I almost messed up.  I listed him on Ebay for $29.95 figuring he was a repo.  I noticed he was getting a lot of attention fast, so I took him off and contacted that guy.  So glad I did!  He is going to hang in for a little bit with me because I know he will go up in value where the market is soft right now and I am kinda fond of him. ;D
