Lifetime GuaranteeEmail to a friend
Early American Pre-Historic Human Effigy Stone Star Gazer, Hohokam culture
All stone carvings from America’s Prehistoric southwest are scarce. The majority of known carved stones come from the Mimbres, Hohokam or Casas cultures. So examples of this three dimensional volcanic stone carving from the Hohokam culture (circa 800–1200 AD) are rare especially in this unusual “star gazer” form- which are among the scarcest and most desirable.
Dark original patina from appropriate age.
Old Label: Maricopa Co Arizona and white painted label SE 11
Dimensions: 7 inches tall, 4 inches diameter
Provenance: Colorado collection
Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our works of art come with our lifetime authenticity guarantee.
Our gallery has been dealing in authentic Native American artifacts for 25 years. Our president personally travels across America each year to meet his network partners and collectors who assist him in finding best examples. He personally inspects each antique work of art to ensure its old age, authenticity and quality condition.
