Mayan Greenstone Plaque - Elaborately Carved Deity

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Mayan Territories, ca. 600 to 950 CE. A striking example of Mayan artistry carved from a roughly rectangular mottled green stone of inherently beautiful verdant green hues with dark forest green inclusions, depicting a frontally facing deity or shamanic lord with an expressive visage comprised of wide-open round eyes, a nose, and downturned mouth, donning a horned headdress and large earspools. Perforated for suspension. Custom stand. Size: 1.25" W x 2.375" H (3.2 cm x 6 cm); 3.25" H (8.3 cm) on stand.

This piece is particularly impressive, because the sculptor worked to also include the figure's clawed limbs. The Mayans had a knack for intriguing compositions that departed from perspectival, naturalistic representations and instead utilized the given shape of a stone to convey as much as possible. A masterful demonstration of complex, incised figurative work that creates the impression of a three-dimensional image on a relatively compact, flat surface. A truly stupendous example!
