Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $150**

Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, ca. 1 to 800 CE. A mottled grey, white, and black hard stone, smoothed and carved from a celt (hand axe) form into a godly figure with anthropomorphic features on its face and arms. It wears a horned headdress that towers above its head. A hole has been drilled laterally through the center of the face, and another hole is drilled horizontally through the neck area. Pendants like this are often carved from jadeite, making this grey stone a rare example. Still wearable! Size: 0.55" W x 2.3" H (1.4 cm x 5.8 cm)
