Pre-Columbian Mexico Mezcala idol 300 BC.
An anthropomorphic figure, carved from grey stone. The figure is characteristically abstract and minimalistic. The neckline, arms, and legs are all delineated through use of the meticulous string-cutting technique, and the entire figure has a semi-smooth texture.
Mexico, Guerrero, Mezcala culture: Circa 300-100 BC.
Height 15 cms (6 ins)
Condition: A slight surface dig affecting lower edge of one of the legs otherwise, complete.
Provenance: Collection of George and Julianne Alderman, Baltimore, MD USA. Acquired mid 1960’s to mid-1990’s.
A fine example of ancient abstact art. The Mezcala culture from the mountainous region of Guerrero in modern-day Mexico is famous for its prolific production of stone sculpture, which includes human figures, animal effigies and architectural models. Little is known about this ancient civilisation, other than that it chose to bury its dead with these abstract, esoteric stone carvings, and that it was the only one of the Mesoamerican civilizations to have been so focused on architecture.
Provenance: Collection of George and Julianne Alderman, Baltimore, MD USA. Acquired mid 1960’s to mid-1990’s.
