Jim Allen with some favourite pieces.
"Have a look inside this casket" he said... Yikes! it's a head!
and in this one? A skeleton! but don't worry, it's only ceramica negra de Tiwanaku!
this one contained a figure (left)... the lid of the box, (right)
these pharoah-like heads were gathering dust under the table....
this sphynx-like creature was hiding in a corner...
as was this.... it's called a Pyrotherium....
meanwhile the king and queen looked on... and these turned to stone
and what's he got to laugh about??!!....
sitting on the shelf ...
just waiting ...
aliens got nothing on me!....
a certain beauty lies in a damaged art form....
some undamaged examples.
