Description: | The largest benefactor to the North American Collection at Marischal was Dr J MacPherson. MacPherson's collection of Ethnography includes a group of 271 figurines from Mexico. One of the figurines is an Aztecan idol, from 1500 - 1560 in Oaxaca. This is a rare example as most of these figures were destroyed by Spanish priests during the conquest. The collection has a wide range of arrowheads from North America and a group of Obsidian articles, 11 arrowheads, knives, cores and scrapers, which were found in the neighbourhood of volcanoes.
Super collection: Marischal Museum.
