Ancient Pre Columbian Olmec Jade Stone Figurine

An ancient Pre Columbian Olmec green jade stone figurine. The standing male figure is in a simple pose with straight legs and arms straight down and wears a flat headdress on its head. Elongated ears with almond shaped eyes and downturned lips were very characteristic of the stone figurines of the Olmec civilization. Also characteristic of the Olmec were holes from drilling on the face and body of stone artworks. Perhaps they were used for decoration, putting earrings in the ears and a variety of changeable clothes. Comes with a stand. South American Collectibles, Home Decor.
