- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Costa Rica, Atlantic Watershed Period V, ca. 800 to 1000 CE. Skillfully carved from a single piece of volcanic stone, a standing male figure, depicted in the nude with his hands on his hips and his head facing upward toward the celestial realm. Though nude with his genitalia and spine well delineated, he is adorned by what appear to be either body scarifications, tattoos, and/or beaded strands. His visage presents with coffee bean shaped eyes, a triangular nose, slightly parted lips, and looped ears ideal for adorning with feathers, shells, or beaded ornaments. All is topped by a mohawk-like coiffure – shaved on the sides and comprised of three lobed sections, each one incised with geometric plaited patterns. A special piece, replete with impressive artistry and technique. Size: 13.5" W x 24.25" H (34.3 cm x 61.6 cm); 24.625" H (62.5 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: ex-private European collection, acquired early 1970s; ex-Christie's, New York City, New York USA, 1990s (with a 1990s Christie's tag)
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
