Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Central Mexico, Guerrero region, Mezcala / Chontal, ca. 800 to 400 BCE. Hand-carved and string-cut from a grey stone, an abstract, stylized standing figure with a characteristically oversized head, deeply undercut neck, projecting lower jaw, arms crossed over torso, and partially separated attenuated legs. The figure's visage is quite expressive with its pecked round eyes, protruding nose, and open mouth. Perforated behind the arms. The Chontal and Mezcala artists created portable sculpture grave offerings that are dramatically abstract yet suggest naturalistic features. The beauty of the stone in addition to the elegant delineation of the form make for an impressive piece. Size: 5.25" H (13.3 cm); 7.375" H (18.7 cm) on included custom stand.
