Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Moche, ca. 200 - 400 CE. Superb miniature anthropomorphic figure carved in brilliant black polished stone. Depicting a seated figure, his right hand rests on his knee, his left is at his mouth, perhaps eating his daily meal - Â pierced for suspension. Â The small depressions throughout the figure once probably held pure gold. Â What an incredible piece of art in miniature! Â Size: Â 1-3/4"H.
