Costa Rican Volcanic Stone Male Figure Torso

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Costa Rica, Atlantic Watershed Period V, ca. 800 to 1000 CE. A skillfully carved upright male figure made from a single piece of volcanic stone. Each arm bends at the elbow holding his hands to the middle of his stomach- the fingers incised into the surface. He stares forward, the visage comprised of a large nose, slightly recessed ovoid eyes, and a thin linear mouth. Atop the head is a ridged striated coiffure that may represent pleated rows. The people of central Costa Rica are famous for their stone carvings, many, like this piece, carved from solid blocks of volcanic stone that may have been made to be placed into graves. Size: 7.5" L x 3.5" W x 8.5" H (19 cm x 8.9 cm x 21.6 cm); 9" H (22.9 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Hidden Valley Lake, California, USA collection, purchased June 29, 2019; ex-Arte Antico, LLC, New York, New York, USA; ex-private Florida, USA collection
