Provenance
Ernest Mitchell was a merchant seaman who sailed on the four-masted schooner Camano from 1921-1926.
The schooner sailed from Seattle, Washington, to Callao, Peru, on at least two or three of these trips. It is
believed that Ernest Mitchell collected the Pre-Columbian lots in this sale on those trips. They have descended
in the family to great-grandson Michael Mitchell.
Arthur Rothenberg, from South Egremont, was born in New York City in 1918. He attended NYU, the Art
Institute and the School of Design (formerly the Bauhaus) in Chicago, McClane Art Institute in New York; and
Pratt Institute. During World War II he was commissioned as a combat artist with the Army Airforce in England.
His paintings and murals are now in the archives of the Pentagon and in various traveling exhibitions throughout
the U.S.
Paul Hulderman was born in Germany and was a journalist covering China, Japan, and Germany in the 1930s.
After interviewing Adolf Hitler several times he began writing anti-Nazi editorials in the Hamburg newspapers.
In 1939 he learned that the Gestapo was looking for him and he escaped to New York City with only a few
dollars in his pocket.
In the early 1950s he moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, and started an Indian arts store on Fifth Ave., The House
of the Six Directions. Hulderman was very instrumental in establishing Scottsdale as a center for Indian arts,
the Scottsdale Fine Arts commission and the direction of Scottsdale’s development. He became well
recognized as an expert on the Indian arts and developed personal relationships with many of the artists
including Maria Martinez, Gorman, etc. He was also the source of direction for museums and investment
firms considering Indian art in Europe and the U.S., and was called to advise the Brookings Institute and
other concerns in Washington, D.C. He passed away in 1981.
William Schmall traveled from western New York to the Alaskan Gold Rush in the 1890s, and sent many items
home to his daughter, Florence E. Schmall.
Lots 335, 338, and 378 are being sold to benefit the Southwest Wildlife Foundation

Rare Northwest Coast Shaman’s Rattle, c. 1840-60, probably Tlingit, carved in two pieces with central mask-like face on each side, with pierced
circular mouth, framed by two relief-carved seals in profile, red and black pigment, ht. 9 1/4, wd. 3 7/8 in.
Note: Rattles on the northwest coast were used in connection with spirit contact. The sound of the rattle is said to open communication with
ancestral spirits, who were called upon for strength and guidance in challenging endeavors. Most rattles are sculpted with a hollow chamber at the
center, which is smaller in raven and other bird rattles and larger in the ones of globular form. This intriguing example, however, is related to a small
sub-group of globular rattles that have been called pierced or donut rattles. These generally have a flattened-globular form, and the unexpected
feature of a hole that cleanly pierces through the center of the rattle from front to back. The hollowed chamber of the rattle is formed around the hole,
like the negative form of a donut, so that the percussive pieces within the chamber, which could be seeds, tiny stones, beads, or birdshot, would
not spill out. A small but significant number of pierced rattles exists today, distributed through a similar number of museums in the U.S., Canada,
and Europe. Why or how this interesting rattle variant came about is unrecorded and unknown, though it may be related to the concept of a tubular
“soul-catcher.” This was a type of shaman’s amulet, most often carved of hollowed bone, within which a lost or errant spirit could be captured and
retained. Perhaps the hole signified the doorway through which the shaman’s spirit entered into and returned from the spirit world.
This example is unusual, even among the small group of rattles with related form, in that the hole piercing the rattle is smaller in relation to the rattle’s
diameter than most others. Each of the rattles of this type exhibit a wholly unique design and sculptural composition, and this one is no exception in
that regard. On the front and rear of the rattle are mask-like carved faces, their mouths forming each end of the hollow tube that pierces the center of
the flattened globe. Above and below each of these faces, the arched body of a seal is relief-carved in profile, as if two seals or sea lions were circling
around each face. These images may refer to the clan affiliation of the shaman who owned the rattle, or they may represent some of the shaman’s
helper spirits, which are often depicted on shaman’s rattles of the globular and oystercatcher types.
The styles of face sculpture and two-dimensional design seen in this uncommon rattle most strongly suggest Tlingit manufacture, though the rattle
may also have originated among the Kaigani Haida. Examples of this type of rattle can be seen in the American Museum of Natural History, the
Smithsonian, and the National Museum of the American Indian. Many of the dozen or more known examples of pierced rattles have either a Tlingit
provenance or exhibit a Tlingit style of sculpture and design work, though one early and very classic example is clearly Tsimshian in style (NMAI).
