Large Pre-Columbian Teotihuacan Green stone figure, Classic period, circa CE 450 - 650. This tall, slender figure embodies typical Teotihuacan characteristics, some of which mirror the early Guerrero tradition, such as the openwork arms. The figure in this case is thin-sectioned, with an idealization of the body that became a Teotihuacan characteristic. The broad grooved eyes that span the width of the face and the slightly inclined shoulders give the figure a poignancy that is rarely seen. Small hands, fingers, and feet are shown. The circular dip at the navel was most likely inlaid, helping to define human physiognomy. The broad horizontal headdress is the only embellishment and adornment, noted as a distinguishing accoutrement. 10-1/2" height. Ex. Kevern Gregory, Fl. Ex. Luis Merida, Florida, Ex. Private Florida collection acquired prior to 1960.
