Large Guerrero Mezcala Stone Figural Celt

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico, Guerrero region, Mezcala culture, ca. 600 to 100 BCE. A hand-carved stone axe god figure, so called because scholars believe this artifact type to have been formed from broken or otherwise discarded stone axe heads.

Size: 1.17" L x 2.47" W x 6.86" H (3 cm x 6.3 cm x 17.4 cm)

Provenance: private Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA collection; ex-Minerva Gallery; ex-Benjamin Vega, California, USA, acquired in 2006 to 2007; ex-Gene and Virginia George, brought to the USA from 1961 to 1966
