From South Of The Border -
Art Before 1892 In Town
BY BEN BOWERS

An aristocratic art known as
Pre- Columbian developed in the
10000 years of human occupa-
ton Of the area between the
southern borders Of the United
States and Peru, as the inhabi-
tanss progressed from a no
madic. hunting experience to a
settled life of agriculture. The
areas involved present a great
variety Of terrain and their arts
bring forth an equal variety Of
expression and materials.
The current exhibition in the
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
artmobile provides local citizens
an opportunity to view 40 rare
and beautiful objects of the an
cient civilizations of Central and
South America. The exhibit is
entitled Art Before Columbus.
Civilizations Represented
Civilizations represented in
clude India, Mochica and Nazca
of Peru. Cocle of Panama,
Magyar Of Guatemala and Aztec
Of Mexico. The objects in the
artmobile, all from the mu-
seuns permanent collection.
are from Mexico. Guatemala,
Costa RIGA, Panama, Columbia,
and Peru.
Dating from 700 B. c. to 1882
A. D. when the Incas of Peru
fell to the Spanish conquerors,
the objects on display are made
of clay. wood. stone, jade, cloth,
feathers. bronze and gold. Exca-
vations of the tombs of many
ancient Americans by archeolc-
gists Of the goth century turned
up the relics.
The boldest objects are two
small clay figurines from
Tlatilco in Central Mexico, dat
ing from 7Oo-S00 B. G. There is
an immense distance ii sophisti-
cation between these early, for
native figures and the superb
classic RemojadoS terra Gotta

created between 5OO-1OOO A. D.
Mayan Chief
An eye-Opener is the lime
stone wall relief from Mexico of
a Magyar chief. It dates from.
100000 A. D. Also among the
stone sculpture pieces is cere-
manial grinding stone in the form
of a Jaguar. It came from
Costa RIGA and dates from 1000
1900 A. D.
Another striking example Of
sculpture in the exhibition is a
stone serpent from an Aztec
temple.
A clay jar in the form Of a
bird from Peru is the oldest OBJ
ject in the artmobile. It dates
from 400 B. C. to 400 A. D. The
