Description
Pre-Columbian, Guerrero, Mexico, Mezcala style, ca. 300 BCE. A nice group of complementary carved green stone objects from a civilization well known for them. These are two humanoid heads and two humanoid figures. Mezcala sculpture makes us think about the individual elements of the human form by abstracting them into basic geometric shapes. Sculptures like this one play with planes and depressions. The eyes and mouth would have been drilled out and the shape smoothed using sandstone abrasion. Size: 2.8" W x 4.7" H (7.1 cm x 11.9 cm)
