Description
Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Guerrero, Mezcala, ca. 400 to 100 BCE. A well-executed anthropomorphic figure, carved from a gorgeous mottled stone of pale green hues with dark green inclusions and liberal red cinnabar on the incised areas.

Drilled through neck for suspension. Custom stand. Size: 4.875" H (12.4 cm); 5.375" H (13.7 cm) on stand.
