- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Valley of Mexico, Teotihuacan, ca. 3rd to 7th century CE. A lovely fragment of a planar anthropomorphic figure that is hand-carved from mottled sage green stone with dark green, light beige, and gray inclusions. The flat-form figure presents with a slender body flanked with broad arms as well as a wide neckline, all with distinct Chontal-influenced stylization. The enlarged head and minimalist visage are comprised of string-cut, slit-form eyes, a slender triangular nose, parted lips, and tab-shaped ears, all beneath an incised cap that rests low on the forehead. Size: 3.7" W x 5.5" H (9.4 cm x 14 cm); 6.6" H (16.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: Whisnant Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA acquired prior to 2000

PLEASE NOTE: Due to recent increases of shipments being seized by Australian & German customs (even for items with pre-UNESCO provenance), we will no longer ship most antiquities and ancient Chinese art to Australia & Germany. For categories of items that are acceptable to ship to Australia or Germany, please contact us directly or work with your local customs brokerage firm.
Display stands not described as included/custom in the item description are for photography purposes only and will not be included with the item upon shipping.
#169356This is a fragment of a larger figure with losses to lower half of left arm as well as waistline and both legs as shown. Repair to portion of proper left ear, with nearly invisible resurfacing along break lines. Small chips to both arms, ears, and upper brow line, with small areas of pitting, and light softening to some facial features. Nice preservation to overall form and surface smoothness. An old inventory on the verso reads that this piece is "8th/9th c. [CE]," however this dating is inaccurate for this item.Condition
