Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico to Guatemala, Olmec culture, ca. 1150-550 CE. The Olmecs exhibited an extraordinary command of this extremely difficult to carve medium. Olmec jade objects such as this trapezoidal celt/axe form are unparalleled for the blue-green hues and natural veining in the stone as well as their compact, remarkably symmetrically balanced form, and elegant surface finish. This ceremonial celt, being of rare quality, is no exception! 5-1/2"L Choice condition.

Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
