Guatemala Pre-Classic or Early Classic 1000 BCE-100 CE very rare pre-Columbian mushroom stone with figural carving of frog man with skull head and large girth mushroom growing from his spine. Most mushroom stones were destroyed my missionaries during conquest and seen as examples of false worship. Only a few hundred examples are believed to have survived and the finest examples of which often depict a trans morphing humanoid. According to examples discovered of mushroom stones from the "Mushroom Cult" only pre-classic examples feature a carved circle to the cap of the mushroom in contract to classic and post-classic examples which do not offer evidence of a carved ring to the top of the mushroom cap. 12.25" H
