Washing clothes, a job so slow and grueling when performed manually that laundresses were by far the most sought after domestic help. In the preelectric era, Mondays were traditionally devoted to doing the laundry. First, the clothes were rubbed against a washboard in soapy water to remove most of the dirt, next they were wrung out, perhaps by running them through a pair of hand cranked rollers; they were then boiled briefly in a vat on top of the stove; then, after removal with a stick, they were soaped, rinsed, and wrung out again; finally they were hung on a line to dry—unless it was raining! In very good + condition, without chips, cracks or fleabites it measures 25 inches tall, 13 1/2 inches wide and 1 7/8 inches deep.

Playful deer is juxtaposed by simple, streamlined form and black and white color palette.  This unusual Tiki figurine/paperweight is unmarked and is made from Obsidian. Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools without crystal growth. Obsidian is also used for ornamental purposes and as a gemstone. It possesses the property of presenting a different appearance according to the manner in which it is cut. When cut in one direction it is a beautiful jet black; when cut across another direction it is glistening gray. In ancient mythic Hawaii, from fire spewing volcanos too powerful crashing surf, ancient Hawaiians filled their amazing land and history with tiki gods. As you can see in the side picture #2 it has veins running through it and when held up to light you can see a grey hue mixed in the black glass. In very good + condition it measures 5 inches tall, 2 inches wide and 1 5/8 inches deep. An addition to any Obsidian, Tiki Figurine or Paperweight Collection.

29.5 x 39.5 cm Original Oil Painting on canvas mounted on panel, by celebrated Cuban artist, Fidelio Ponce de Leon (1895-1949). Dated 1919, this painting is from early in Ponce de Leon's career, shortly after leaving the San Alejandro Fine Arts Academy. The intuitive tonal accuracy of his color palette and dynamic brushwork illustrate Ponce de Leon's innate talent as a painter. Internationally recognized during his lifetime, Ponce de Leon participated in exhibitions of Cuban modern paintings in New York, Washington D.C., Mexico, and Cuba throughout the 1940s. The Havana Lyceum, where he had his first solo show, organized a major exhibition of his work shortly after his death in 1949. His work is featured in museum collections such as New York's Museum of Modern Art and The National Museum, Palace of Fine Arts in Havana City, which held a retrospective exhibition on his 100th birthday in 1995.
