Description:

Pre-Columbian, Tlapacoya, or Coapexco in Valley of Mexico, ca. 1250 BCE to 800 BCE, Early Formative Period. The Tlatilco culture created stylized Olmecoid human representations typically as grave offerings for the elite. The Olmec influence on this elegantly, mottled greenstone visage is unmistakable. While large numbers of Olmec-style objects were found in rich graves, they in fact constituted only a small percentage of the grave goods. 4 1/2"W x 3 1/2"H x 1"D Provenance: Ex-private Colorado collection All items in this auction have been legally acquired, are legal to sell, and guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
