Description
**Originally Listed At $200**
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, Central Highlands, Atlantic Watershed, ca. 1000 to 1400 CE. Carved from a porous grey volcanic stone, a figure crouching in a seated position with hands placed upon upraised knees, feet curled beneath the body, his back curved with skeletal spine clearly delineated. The oversized head is detailed with a pronounced jaw line and nice angular facial features with eyes, nose, and open mouth carved in low relief and a long backswept striated coiffure. An intriguing personage, perhaps a hunchbacked shaman. Size: 4.125" H (10.5 cm)
