Description
Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico, Guerrero region, Mezcala culture, ca. 600 to 100 BCE. An abstract anthropomorphic figure, hand-carved from mottled greenstone, that stands atop fused conical legs. Several string-cut striations create the overall minimalist presentation, and a biconically drilled suspension hole on the verso enables this to be worn as a sizable pendant.
