Item Details
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 -  pierced for suspension.  The small depressions throughout the figure once probably held pure gold.  What an incredible piece of art in miniature!  Size:  1-3/4"H.

Provenance: Ex: Geo Fowler collection via descent from his grandfather who traveled throughout Peru between 1933 and 1935.

 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.
