With this stunning pocket-size sculptured head, you will possess a true artifact from a sophisticated pre-Columbian civilization that thrived in Mexico between 1200 and 400 BC. The Olmecs were one of the first inhabitants of the Americas. Best known for their colossal head sculptures, the Olmec artists are said to be revolutionary for their time.
This stone head showcases the typical facial carving traits of this culture, such as chubby cheeks, flat nose and helmet-like headgear. This beautiful remnant was probably part of a portable male statue. It is an exquisite and authentic representation of Olmec art; perfect for any pre-Columbian collector or enthusiast.
