BC
to 300
AD Dimensions:5" (12.7cm) high Catalogue: V2 Collection: Pre-Columbian Medium: Stone
With a few deep cuts into the stone, the artists of
Mezcala created figures with monumental dignity
on a very small scale. Primitive figurines such as
this seem simultaneously to be part god, part man,
part natural phenomenon.
