ANCIENT PRE COLUMBIAN MEZCALA CARVED STONE AX GOD

Item Details

Description

An ancient Pre Columbian carved stone ax, featuring a god figure and dating to approximately 300 BC, a remarkable artifact from the Mezcala culture of ancient Mesoamerica. Mezcala culture is known for its distinctive stone carvings, and this piece is a testament to their artistic and cultural achievements. The axs design, featuring a god figure, is a significant aspect of the piece. In Pre Columbian cultures, deities played a central role in religious and cultural practices. The specific identity of the god depicted on the ax may vary, as different Mesoamerican cultures had their pantheons of deities. Understanding the cultural and religious context of the god figure would require further research. Ancient Mesoamerican Archaeological Artifacts And Art Collectibles.

Dimensions: H 4 1/2 in. All measurements are approximate.
