Objects in this exhibition are from the William P. Palmer III Collection. University of Maine alumnus William Palmer began collecting West Mexican tomb figures around 1965 when the cultures of ancient West Mexico were little known. Certificates of authenticity accompanying the purchases contained incorrect information about cultures of origin and periods, but reliable information about groupings of artifacts, sites of origin, and years of discovery. Palmer’s collection came to The University of Maine when he died in 1982. |
