Teotihuacan, Idol Figure, Alabaster, Mexico, 100-300 AD

Item Details

Description

Polished alabaster
Teotihuacan Culture, Mexico, 100-300 AD
Figural sculpture, crafted in flint process
Mounted on a modern metal stand
Dimensions: 21.5 x 8 cm
Provenance: Private collection, Italy
Figures of the Teotihuacan-Culture are very rare; the present figure boasts an expressive carving work

This male alabaster figure, once entirely polished, was made by the Mexican Teotihuacan Culture. The almond-shaped eyes look out of the rectangular face and both ears are clearly perforated. The mouth with its fleshy lips is wide open. The broad-cross male figure only wears a kind of loincloth. The edged shape of the sculpture symbolizes male strength.

The figure is restored in several areas. The left leg and the head have been broken off and glued. The stone shows signs of weathering on the verso. The dimensions are 21.5 cm (height) and 8 cm (width). (tfa)
