New Braunfels, TX — Lark Mason Associates is please to announce that bidding is now open for Pre-Columbian Art and Other Works of Art from a Private Texas Collector, a summer auction featuring over 100 distinctive lots. The sale, online at iGavelAuctions.com, runs through July 15th.

A third of the 106 offerings spotlight a vibrant selection of Pre-Columbian pottery from Mexico, Costa Rica, and Peru, with accessible estimates ranging from $200 to $1,200. These evocative works—rooted in ancient ritual and daily life—present a compelling opportunity for both seasoned and emerging collectors. Complementing the collection are fourteen intricately carved and painted African masks (estimates range from $300–700 each); five traditional ceremonial fetishes, including a striking N’Kisi Nail Fetish (estimate: $700–1,000); and a Chinese bronze covered food vessel, dating from the 3rd to 5th century BCE (estimate: $1,200–1,800).

Adding a contemporary dimension to the sale are three watercolors—Double Portrait, Dancer, and La Mujer—by the acclaimed Mexican artist Francisco Toledo, each estimated between $5,000 and $7,000. Also featured are a large leather rhinoceros by British designer Dimitri Omersa (estimate: $800–1,200), a gouache on paper by German artist Horst Antes (estimate: $2,000–3,000), and a ceramic architectural sculpture by American artist John Brickels (estimate: $500–800).

Says Lark Mason: “This is a focused sale filled with character and cultural resonance. With low reserves and inviting estimates, this is a great opportunity for collectors to acquire pieces of historical and aesthetic significance.”
