Fresh out of a private collection started about the 1950's to the 1980's, we have the privilege to offer you this rare Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit Terracotta standing male figure artifact.
Circa 1st Century B.C. - 2nd Century A.D.
Featuring a male figure holding food, almost acorn shaped, in his right hand and he has his left hand at his mouth. He appears to have earrings in both ears. Featuring stunning colors of rusty red, brown, gray and black. Just a stunning ancient artifact.
This monumental figure is in original, ancient condition with no restoration or repainting. Some minor nicks, abrasions and a stress fracture to the underside of the right arm with one starting on the back of the lower neck. This is all natural for historical artifacts of this age. All commensurate with age, being 2000 years old, it is a wonder they even exist.
This piece is an authentic, genuine artifact from West Mexico. Please review the photographs thoroughly for the condition, this is very important. If you have any questions, please let us know.
This is just one piece out of many from the Estate collection in our gallery and would look absolutely stunning in any setting. Great addition for any Pre-Columbian artifact collector.
