Lot of 3 Guerrero / Mezcala Stone Ear Spools

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $250**

Pre-Columbian, Guerrero, Mexico, Mezcala culture, ca. 700 BCE to 650 CE. Three carved stone earspools, two from a greenstone of beautiful sage hues with white inclusions and one from a smoky grey-black stone, perhaps andesite. Ear spools like these are often shown adorning lords and shaman in Pre-Columbian art, usually with a bead or serpent emerging from that central hollow plug; scholars have interpreted this to be a symbolic supernatural passageway through which the breath of the soul travels. Size: largest (grey example) measures 2.125" in diameter (5.4 cm)

Provenance: ex-Claude Cassuto collection, France, before 1969
