Rare Framed Trio of Venezuelan Stone Figures
Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Western Venezuelan Andes, Tierra de los Indios culture, ca. 1000 to 1500 CE. A framed arrangment of three carved figural pendant charms, carved from green steatite stone. The central figure, who most likely represents a chief or lord, is flanked by a pair of frogs. Frogs were particularly meaningful to many Pre-Columbian cultures as they symbolized rainfall and the sustenance that it brings. This lovely ensemble is mounted upon a woven fiber and set within a lovely wooden frame. Size: anthropomorphic figure measures 3-3/4" (9.5 cm), frogs measure 1-1/2" (3.8 cm); frame measures 15 5/8 (40 cm) x 11 5/8" (29.5 cm).

Provenance: Ex-private Houston, Texas collection.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
