Moreover, the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not insure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country. Lots that contain such regulated species materials may also not be eligible for exportation or for re-importation into the United States if they are not at least 100 years of age, and, under current law, lots containing African Elephant Ivory may no longer be re-imported into the United States regardless of age. In addition, resales of lots containing certain regulated species materials may be subject to restrictions in some jurisdictions. Lots noted in the catalog with a Y next to the lot number contain one or more such regulated plant or animal materials. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such restrictions and to obtain any relevant export or import licenses. Please note that this process is governed by local authorities and may take considerable time. Regardless of any delay in the obtaining of an export or import license or certificate or denial of a license’s or certificate’s issuance, purchased lots shall be paid for in accordance with the Conditions of Sale, and any such delay or denial shall not serve as the basis for cancellation of any sale. Prospective buyers are advised to obtain information from the relevant regulatory authorities regarding export and import restrictions, requirements, and costs prior to bidding. Finally, due to a recent change in New York State regulated species law, New York State residents will require a permit to purchase any item containing ivory or rhinoceros horn. Upon request, Bonhams can refer the purchaser to a third party agent to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates. However, there is no assurance that any necessary licenses or certificates can be obtained. Please contact the Specialist Department for a referral prior to placing a bid if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to export/import license or certificate requirements or related restrictions. 1 2 Pre-ColumBian art lots 1-6 1 2 Chavin Figural lamP, Ca. 700-400 B.C. teotihuaCan mask, ClassiC, Ca. a.d. 450-650 Stone Stone (probably onyx marble) length 4in (10.2cm) height 4 3/4 (12cm) Carved in dark green stone in the form of a llama, with a deeply Finely carved with slightly hollowed back, the flanged pierced ears hollowed cup for oil hollowed out on its back. bordering the face with slightly raised brow above a large and broad nose between slit, hollowed eyes with funnel holes, the mouth broad Provenance and slightly open.
