In 1876 Herman van Pampus opened a small business on the Wittenburgergracht<br>on the Oostelijke Eilanden . He was a good neighbor of the Vroom family, the<br>founders of the current V&D group. Relocation to the center of the city was<br>necessary. In 1897 we moved to the Nieuwendijk and in 1905 we expanded with a<br>second business in the building Leidsestraat 106.<br><br>The business was transferred to sons Carel and Willem in 1909, with Carel<br>getting the business on Nieuwendijk and Willem in Leidsestraat. During the new<br>construction of buildings nos. 106-108 in Leidsestraat in 1919, which<br>temporarily involved a temporary wooden building on Leidseplein, a riot arose in<br>the municipal council. Councilor Loopuit submitted a motion not to have any<br>buildings placed on public roads in the future, without first obtaining the<br>council's opinion. The speaker pointed out the temporary goldsmith's shop on<br>Leidseplein, popularly called “the fortress of Pampus”. He said: “This goldsmith<br>is also cheap, because he only pays twenty cents per square meter per week and<br>has had a better place than he had in Leidsestraat for quite some time.” In 1927<br>it was moved to Kalverstraat, an even better shopping street. In 1952 there was<br>an expansion with a branch in The Hague and then in 1971 a total new<br>construction over four buildings: Kalverstraat 117-119 and subsequently Taksteeg<br>8-10. All shop buildings were rebuilt in 19th century style under the<br>supervision of the Monumentenzorg. From then on, the business was officially<br>called Willem van Pampus Amsterdam BV. The Kalverstraat and Nieuwendijk branches<br>were closed on December 31. 1981 discontinued. The Kalverstraat and Nieuwendijk<br>branches were closed on December 31. 1981 discontinued.

Many of his gold masterpieces are set with the finest Lander Blue, Number 8 and other natural turquoise. In 1992, Dina Huntinghorse, his wife, wrote a beautiful profile on Herbert for Focus magazine. Herbert passed away, but lives on through his work. Herbert won over 100 ribbons including a “Best of Show at the Heard Museum Show in Phoenix, AZ and Southwest Museum Show in Los Angeles, CA. Herbert was not only a master craftsman, but was also a teacher of his craft.

Nelson is Diné, he was born in 1959 at Keams Canyon, Arizona, on the Hopi Reservation. That could explain his exposure to Hopi overlay silver work.

Large Los Ballesteros Modernist Sterling Cuff Bracelet. Great cuff with no damage or significant wear.Los Ballesteros Jewelry - History This business was established in 1937 by Jalil Majul Ballesteros in Iguala, Mexico. He had been apprenticed in the art of silversmithing by his grandfather and father, and early on, he made jewelry with a filigree look. In 1941 he moved his workshop to Taxco and adopted styles that were more in line with the tourist pieces produced there.During the 1950s, piecework was farmed out to smaller family workshops in the Taxco area, and the pieces were marked Talleres de los Ballesteros. These pieces were sold in shops throughout the country, including Mexico City and Acapulco. The company also began exporting jewelry in 1952.A modernized corporate version of Los Ballesteros continues to sell its products, both jewelry, and decorative giftware, through stores in Mexico as well as through other vendors worldwide. The company’s commitment to quality in honor of their heritage is strong, and they are still using the traditional Talleres de los Ballesteros stylized B logo in their branding.

Large Old African Mask. I think it's really old, 19th to early 20th century.<br>Nice estate fresh ceremonial mask covered in hide with some wear as shown.<br>15"high, 10"wide, 12.5"deep, crack in forehead, a few of the horns are a little<br>loose.<br><br>The Bete and Gere people reside in Ivore' Coast, just south of the Guro. ,<br>omnipresent in Bete life, aims to maintain a harmonious relationship between<br>nature and the ancestors, who are responsible for the welfare of the tribe.<br>Elaborate masquerades and ceremonies are performed by the men of the tribe who<br>belong to dance societies.According to the book, THE TRIBAL ARTS OF AFRICA<br>byBacquart: "Bete carvers are renowned for one particular type of face mask<br>which has exaggerated features- a large protruding mouth,an elongated nose,with<br>nostrils sometimes extending to each side of the face, and globular eyes set<br>beneath a high domed forehead carved with a medium ridge. Historically, this<br>type of mask was worn to prepare men for war; nowadays,it is worn for a variety<br>of ceremonies, including entertainment dances." These masks were influenced by<br>the tradition of their western neighbors, the "We". The Bete grew only what was<br>needed for a subsistence economy and placed more importance on the hunt. To<br>render the hostile forces of the forest material, they sculpted a type of mask<br>that would provoke terror: the "gre", with its grimacing face, distorted<br>features facial protuberances, bulging forehead. The Bete live in the<br>southwestern part of the country, between the Akan ethnic groups to the east and<br>the Guro tribe to the north. They number about 600,000 and are an agricultural<br>group. Patrilinear, the Bete live – under the ancestors’ authority – in small<br>“headless” villages. Historically they were hunters, but nowadays they also<br>farm. They grow what is needed for a subsistence economy. They also have linked<br>to the market economy and much of their effort is devoted to the cultivation of<br>cacao and coffee. , omnipresent in Bete life, aims to maintain a harmonious<br>relationship between nature and the ancestors who are responsible for the<br>welfare of the tribe. Today the vast majority still follow their traditional<br>African , believing in a creator God Lago, but do not pray to or worship him.<br>Instead they seek help from many lesser spirits supposed to have supernatural<br>power to help them, or give protection--spirits of their ancestors, spirits that<br>inhabit trees, rivers, rocks, etc. They observe many customs and taboos and make<br>sacrifices of eggs, chickens, cows, etc. Each ritual focuses on the maintenance<br>and care of good relations with the world of ancestors, so as to assure the<br>protection of the lineages. The cults give rise to numerous mask performances,<br>during the course of which the music assumes fundamental importance. The<br>apprenticeship of male youngsters particularly concentrates on the mastery of<br>these arts. In fact, within a village context the men form into veritable dance<br>societies, membership in which is indispensable. Bete carvers are renowned for<br>one particular type of face mask, the gre or nyabwa , which has exaggerated,<br>grimacing distorted features – a large protruding mouth, facial protuberances,<br>bulging forehead, elongated nose, with nostrils sometimes extending to each side<br>of the face, and globular or bulging slit eyes set beneath a high-domed forehead<br>carved with a medium ridge. In earlier days, this mask presided over the<br>ceremony held when peace was restored after armed conflicts and it participated<br>in sessions of customary justice. This type of mask was also worn to prepare men<br>for war; the masks offered magical protection by instilling fear and terror in<br>potential enemies. Nowadays, it is worn for a variety of ceremonies, including<br>entertainment dances.

Large Pre-Mayan Olmec Articulating Arms Pre-Columbian figure. 10" tall x 7" wide, very old restoration on one shoulder and to neck I believe, very old stable fissures at hips. Rare, museum quality with unusual complex articulating arms likely intended to hold various size offerings. The arms move smoothly and fluidly with no evidence of a string as seen with simpler versions of these. This was made by a master potter approx 2500 years ago. Authenticity guaranteed. This is part of a large collection of artifacts I'm helping liquidate, all purchased from reputable sources over the last quarter of the 20th century, money was no object. I'm pricing everything at a small fraction of what it cost from the galleries/auctions. Olmec, the first elaborate pre-Columbian civilization of Mesoamerica (c. 1200–400 BCE) and one that is thought to have set many of the fundamental patterns evinced by later American Indian cultures of Mexico and Central America, notably the Maya and the Aztec. The Nahuatl (Aztec) name for these people, Olmecatl, or Olmec in the modern corruption, means “rubber people” or “people of the rubber country.” That term was chosen because the Olmecs extracted latex from Panama rubber trees (Castilla elastica) growing in the region and mixed it with the juice of a local vine (Ipomoea alba, moonflower) to create rubber. The chief Olmec sites are San Lorenzo, La Venta, Laa de los Cerros, and Tres Zapotes in what is now southern Mexico. Much of what is known about the Olmecs was inferred from archaeological excavations at those sites, which have uncovered large earthen pyramids and platforms and monumental stone carvings. The Olmecs are especially identified with 17 huge stone heads—ranging in height from 1.47 to 3.4 metres (4.82 to 11.15 feet)—with flat faces and full lips, wearing helmetlike headgear. It is generally thought that these are portraits of Olmec rulers. Other Olmec artifacts include so-called baby-faced figures and figurines. These display a rounded facial form, thick features, heavy-lidded eyes, and down-turned mouths, and they are sometimes referred to as were-jaguars. The Olmecs lived in hot, humid lowlands along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in what is now southern Veracruz and Tabasco states in southern Mexico. The first evidence of their remarkable art style appears about 1200 BCE in San Lorenzo, their oldest known building site. This site is remarkable for its many stone monuments, including some of the colossal carved heads mentioned above. In the late 20th century a stone slab engraved with symbols that appear to have been the Olmec writing system (sometimes called epi-Olmec, or Isthmian) was discovered in the village of Cascajal, near San Lorenzo. The Cascajal stone dates to approximately 900 BCE and may be the oldest example of writing from the Americas. Other objects containing glyphs include the Tuxtla Statuette, the Chiapa de Corzo shard, the O’Boyle mask, and the La Mojarra stela (discovered 1986). The last object, which displays 465 glyphs, greatly facilitated the interpretation of the epi-Olmec language, though many questions remain. The Olmecs developed a wide trading network, and between 1100 and 800 BCE their cultural influence spread northwestward to the Valley of Mexico and southeastward to parts of Central America. The constructions and monuments of the Olmecs, as well as the sophistication and power of their art, make it clear that their society was complex and nonegalitarian.
