Here’s a beautifully hand-carved effigy artifact from ancient America.
This carving appears to be neither human nor supernatural but an idealized surreal other worldly form.
Depicting a typical Olmecoid, elongated head and face with almond-shaped eyes and a toothless slightly down turned mouth, this standing figure is carved from jade in elegant simplistic detail. Its harmonious proportions are indicative of the sophistication attained by ancient jade sculptors of that period.
The smooth, highly polished planes of cheek, forehead, and entire sculpture plus the almost fleshy quality of the nose and parted lips belie the incredible hardness of the jade stone from which this figure was handcrafted. The carving appears to be neither human nor supernatural but an idealized surreal other worldly form.
Please view the ample surface evidence cinnabar remnants from significant submersion over the centuries signifying its appropriate great age.
Hand-carved. fine quality. Only one.
