Arte Primitivo, New York

Howard Rose is a scholar and a gentleman with a deep knowledge of all kinds of artifacts from the ancient worlds of Eurasia and the Americas. He will take the time to assist the neophyte in understanding both the meaning and the techniques of manufacture of the items in his shop. He regularly publishes a sale catalog that is itself a good reference book for the collector. I collect ancient weapons and have found some real treasures in his catalog, this year I purchased an axe from Colchis (Jason & Argonauts) that dates to the Bronze Age, 1500 BC. I recommend highly. *****
