Rare Neolithic Peruvian Stone Female Idol Figure

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Peru, Neolithic Period, ca. 10000 to 5000 BCE. An extremely rare Peruvian Venus figure exhibiting a highly stylized form amidst the naturally mottled brown, gray, and beige hues of the hand-carved stone. The abstract anthropomorphic figure presents nude with arms hanging at her sides, a distended abdomen visible above delineated legs, and an enormous head with a vertical nose and petite eyes. Remains of red pigment are visible across the face and suggest that this figure was accented with bright pigments at one time. Size: 2.375" L x 2.875" W x 8.875" H (6 cm x 7.3 cm x 22.5 cm); 11.7" H (29.7 cm) on included custom stand.
