Materials Stone Period Pre-Columbian Era Origin South America
8.0" W x 11.25" H x 4.5" D
Hello, this item is a carved stone mask attributed to the Pre-Columbian era, with a suggested South American origin and dimensions of approximately 11.25 inches in height. The form is rectilinear with stylized facial features deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a slightly open mouth carved in a manner broadly consistent with stone effigy masks produced by early Mesoamerican and Andean cultures. The drilled holes suggest it may have been mounted or suspended, either ritually or decoratively. The surface appears weathered but uniformly so, and the stand is modern, added for display.
