Baessler-Archiv, Neue Folge, Band XVII (1969) 245 “MINIATURE” AND SMALL STONE ARTIFACTS FROM MESOAMERICA STEPHAN F. DE BORHEGYI, Milwaukee* In a recent article, Dockstader (1968) describes and illustrates a number of “miniature” Mesoamerican stone objects such as hachas, yokes, and stone “arm- guards” all from the collections of the Museum of the American Indian in New York. His article was prompted by reports of this author (de Borhegyi, 1961, 1966, and 1967) of several miniature stone objects, yokes, knee yokes, hachas, horizontally tenoned ballcourt markers, mushroomstones, metates and manos, “toad stone” receptacles, “doughnut stones”, and star-shaped stone maceheads. Dockstader concludes his article saying: “until more of these curious examples turn up to increase our understanding, one can only record their existence and anticipate subsequent evidence which hopefully will reveal their purpose.” It is in this spirit of inquiry that I thought that the publication of some new evidence relative to these curious miniature stone objects, most, if no all, seemingly related to the ballgame complex of ancient Mesoamerica will be in order. Since 1967 the author has not only noted several miniature and small stone objects in various museum collections, but the Milwaukee Public Museum was also fortunate to obtain, primarily through the generous donations of Mr. Richard P. Herzfeld, of Milwaukee, a number of new small and miniature stone hachas, palmas, and massive, crested stone heads. * The writer wishes to acknowledge his thanks to Mr. Richard P. Herzfeld of Mil waukee, to Drs. Gordon Ekholm, Frederick Dockstader, Dieter Eisleb, Wolfgang Haberland, Otto Zerries, and Ferdinand Anton for their many helpful suggestions and to the Völkerkunde Museums of Berlin, Hamburg, Miinich, and Bremen for the permission to use the photographs of the objects in their collections. For all other photos, my thanks go to Mr. Leo Johnson, Chief Photographer of the Mil waukee Public Museum. I also want to express my deepfelt appreciation to the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, to the National Science Foundation, to the American Philosophical Society, ICOM, and especially to Drs. Götz Fehr and Erhard Jahn of the German Federal Government and Inter Nationes, all of whom made my various trips to study the Pre-Columbian collec tions in the West German museums possible. 16 Baessler-Archiv XVII
