- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Honduras, Copan, Maya, Early Classic Period, ca. 400 CE. A charming hand-carved limestone sculpture of an anthropomorphic figure wearing a backwards-facing mask and seated with both knees drawn up before him. Hunched forward, the pouting creature places both hands upon his knees and holds an object between his shins that presents a spout of sorts at his feet. His large head is fixed with a sorrowful countenance on both sides. Frontwards, he shows a more naturalistic face that is angled downward. The glowering visage features a frowning mouth, a round nose, and closed eyes. The other side of his head wears a more minimalistic face, or perhaps a mask, composed only of two annular eyes and a huge, down-turned mouth. His coiffure is comprised of three leaves or braids that end in downward points on his forehead and curl along the side of his head. This rare and quite fine stone figure was carved from local limestone bedrock - which permeates the region. Size: 5.125" L x 3.5" W x 9.5" H (13 cm x 8.9 cm x 24.1 cm)
Provenance: private Los Angeles County, California, USA collection, acquired by descent from the owner's father, collection amassed between 1950 and 1990; ex-Edward S. Payne collection, Springfield, Illinois, USA
