About the Item

A remarkable and monumental sculpture by Miguel Pineda, titled “Dios Pacal”, crafted in .980 fine silver with elaborate gemstone inlays. The head is intricately inlaid with turquoise mosaic, while the headdress features a sinuous serpent adorned with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and black onyx accents. Additional onyx and lapis inlays embellish the earrings and geometric details, enhancing the richness of the design. The figure represents Mayan ruler Pacal the Great, rendered with striking expression and elaborate ornamentation, symbolizing power and divinity in ancient Mesoamerican culture. Pineda’s work is celebrated for combining traditional Mexican silversmithing with bold modernist design, and this piece exemplifies his mastery of mixed-media inlay techniques. Raised on a tiered base of silver and black stone, the sculpture commands presence and serves as both a work of art and cultural homage. Dimensions: Approx. 21.5” high x 7” wide x 7” deep (54.5 cm x 18 cm x 18 cm) Materials: .980 silver, turquoise, lapis lazuli, black onyx Artist: Miguel Pineda Title: Dios Pacal Period: Late 20th century Vintage condition, with minor wear consistent with age.
