Hello,

This item is a Pre-Columbian statue depicting a man wearing a dress, likely originating from a civilization in the Americas prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The statue is crafted from stone or clay and represents a figure from ancient indigenous cultures.

This restriction aims to protect cultural heritage and prevent the looting and illicit trade of artifacts from archaeological sites. As a result, further documentation and provenance would be necessary for legal sale or transfer of ownership of this item.
