Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Guerrero Mexico, ca. 300 BCE. This is a finely made, small grey-greenstone axe figure. The neck, legs, and marks on the body were string cut; the face has drilled eyes. These stone axe figures are common from this period, representing 15-20% of all artifacts found, and are named for the Rio Mezcala (Balsas) valley where they are commonly found. The Mezcala style is known only through stone carving, which is done using strings with the aid of sandstone for abrasion. Comes with custom stand. Size: 1.45" W x 5.35" H (3.7 cm x 13.6 cm)
