A FINE MAYA STONE HACHA IN THE FORM OF A JAGUAR HEAD, LATE CLASSIC.

Anthropos Gallery

This greenish-gray stone jaguar head is of three dimensional form, with open mouth and sharp teeth bared. The deep-set eye sockets may have had inlays at one time, and three drill holes suggest former attachments. Beautiful patina is evident on the head and cheeks. There is a modern inscription written along the base: “San Jose-La Granjo Retalhuleu”. Sold with a custom metal stand.
