Mesoamerican Carved Stone Toad and Associated Stone

Item Details

Description

possibly Pre Columbian, acquired prior to 1944, stylized toad with conical stone, toad 2 x 5 x 4 in., stone 1-1/2 x 2 in.

Provenance: Estate of William E. Hughes, San Antonio, Texas; by descent in family

Note: This object tests as nephrite on the Presidium Gem Tester II.

Mr. William E. Hughes amassed this impressive collection of Mexican jade and stone artifacts in the early 20th century. Many of the artifacts are sourced from archaeological explorations in areas such as a tomb at Monte Alban, the Sacred Well at Chichen Itza, and the outskirts of Mexico City. In 1944, Mr. Hughes donated his collection of over 200 objects to the museum at the New Trier Township High School in Winnetka, Illinois. The artifacts would remain on display until 1973, when they were returned to the family.
