| Comparanda | This is one of three such jaguar stools made to sell to outsiders who appreciate indigenous symbolism. It is the last of the three made. The first was for some years in possession of the late Joe Brenner, a North American who stimulated the market for large indigenous stools. The first one had no teeth, and I do not know what became of it. The second one is in our possession. -- Norman Whitten 4/10/2002 |
