Important Colima Janus-Headed Stone Mace

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. Rare and important stone mace head in Janus-headed form. Carved of light green basalt with human head on each end, full groove around center for attachment to a wooden haft. This mace was created using a pecking technique especially evident in the groove, as well as drilling and string cutting. One of the things that sets this off from many other examples we have handled is the extensive evidence of manganese blooms. We have seen manganese on stone in the past, but never this obvious or extensive and this further confirms the authenticity of this fine piece! Custom stand. Size: 4.5" L x 2.75" H (11.4 cm x 7 cm)

Provenance: Ex-Sevilla Collection, Pomona, CA

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.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
