About the Item

From Native America Southwest comes this unique natural stone "human head" effigy. It was discovered in the Tesuque area of New Mexico in 1960. It is a natural sandstone concretion and as such is considered in most circles to be more important, -have more spiritual and ceremonial significance- than a man carved effigy. Dimensions: 12 inches tall and 12 inches diameter, 70 pounds Provenance: This comes from an old New Mexican collection and was found circa 1960. A copy of the former owner's letter will accompany purchase (photo). While it is difficult to determine its exact age before or during any of its former ceremonial purpose, it clearly possesses worn surfaces from substantial age. The effigy fashioned by nature in the form of a boulder in the round with substantial surface encrustation appropriate to old age. Provenance: old New Mexico collection All stone human effigies from Native American past are scarce and some consider most desirable. First 11 photographs are photographed in natural light Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our works of art come with our lifetime authenticity guarantee.
