Pre-Columbian "Tonalaware" clay urn. 9.8 grams, 2" tall and 1-3/8" wide. With two curved handles connecting from the top of the wide body to the long, narrow neck with wide rim at top, flared base at bottom, mostly dark brown against gray, intact but crude, a rare and desirable artifact that was probably intended as a child's toy and made in the village of Tonala near Guadalajara, Mexico (see Galleon Alley by Weller, pp. 118 and 146-9). From the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum, with certificate.
