Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $250**

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, ca. 500 to 800 CE. A miniature cast-copper figurine of a warrior standing atop delineated legs. The figure wears a padded waistband with a tail panel on the verso as he slings a slender club across his right shoulder. His spherical head bears bulging eyes, nose, and ears, all below a minimalist conical helmet. Thick patina has formed across the surfaces. Copper figures like this were often reserved for the burial offerings of royal individuals. Size: 0.65" W x 2" H (1.7 cm x 5.1 cm)

Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010
