Mezcala Greenstone Male Figure, ex-Arnovick

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Guerrero Region, Southwestern Mexico, Mezcala, ca. 500 to 200 BCE. An outstanding greenstone anthropomorphic figure with arms carved in low relief, simple facial features including a slit mouth and slightly raised angular nose. This example also presents the figure's hands meeting over the abdominal area and separated legs. The Mezcala sculptors brilliantly used string-saw technology to differentiate facial features and limbs. The ancient artisans of this region were particularly adept at reducing the human body to simple, eloquent forms via this string cut technique. The result ironically appeals to a modernist taste for minimalism. Mezcala sculptural works are equally appealing for the inherent beauty of the stone selected by the ancients. This example is no exception! Custom block stand. Size: figure itself measures 2.5" W x 5" H (6.4 cm x 12.7 cm).

Provenance: Ex-private Professor Peter Arnovick collection, CA, collected before 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.
