Outstanding condition. Very rare in this condition. Reattached left leg. This artifact is from the Dr. David Harner Collection in Arkansas. During the 1950's and 1960's he acquired thousands of artifacts from Central and South America. Being both a globetrotter and a philanthropist, his contributions of bringing the art and thus awareness of the level of advancement that the Pre-Columbian cultures had actually achieved cannot be underestimated. He authenticated artifacts for a museum and even donated large collections. Items from his collection are renowned for their authenticity and high quality
