Near-Miniature Olmec Jade Were Jaguar Figure

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico to Guatemala, Olmec, ca. 900 to 500 BCE. An exquisite, finely carved, near miniature, blue-green jade were-jaguar figurine, standing in a characteristically stiff pose with long arms and shorter, separated, slightly bent legs with protruding knees, presenting hallmark Olmec features including an elongated head, a jowly "babyface" visage with a downturned open jaguar-like mouth, double pierced pupils in almond-shaped eyes, a bifurcated hair part, and pierced ears for suspending earrings or ornaments. Custom stand. Size: figure measures 1.5" W x 2.625" H (3.8 cm x 6.7 cm); 3.25" H (8.3 cm) on stand.

Note that even the fingers and toes are delineated! Scholars have proposed that the flattened and elongated heads of these figures are indicative of the artificial cranial deformation practiced by the Olmec. An exemplar of Olmec sculpture, impressive for its technique, iconography, and well as the inherent beauty of the jade. A superb scuptural work from the Olmec, indeed the first Mesoamerican civilization that most regard as the forerunner of subsequent ancient American cultures such as the Maya and Aztecs!

Provenance: Ex-private Scollard collection, acquired before 1990.

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.
