Description
Donated By: Donick Cary, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley)

Latin America, Mexico, ca. early 20th century CE. A hand-crafted dark-wood nicho with a large open display area ideal for figures like Santos and other religious artwork. The nicho features a large stable base, cavernous display area, carved and stylized columns with a vertical semi-circular motif to either side of the display area, a three-sided protruding platform on the base and a similarly-shaped design on top, and an intricate and delicate carved star design with extending rays and wave-shaped supports to either side. The back panel consists of two wooden slats, and can be opened from the back by two small metal door hinges; both slats are held closed by a small metal latch. Traces of original turquoise-colored pigment are visible. Size: 16.25" L x 27" W x 41.5" H (41.3 cm x 68.6 cm x 105.4 cm).

Provenance: private D. C. collection, California, USA; D. C. is an Emmy Award winning Hollywood writer and Executive Producer, collected before 2000

Making music happen since 2009…

Today, Musack's mission is to give kids and teens a voice through music by providing guitars, drums, and support for music teachers - wherever the need arises.

But back in 2009, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer Donick Cary (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley) began Musack with a simple vision - raise money to fund musical programs for his hometown high school on Nantucket Island. After a rash of teen suicides on the island, Donick thought about how he and his friends got through their teen years. Music.

Musack continues to make music happen around the world with support from people like you. All lots offered for sale in today’s fundraising auction have been donated by celebrities, non-celebrities, and local businesses. Help us help our kids - bid high, bid often!
