Native America Old Natural Stone Human Head Effigy Sculpture
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.

- Ancient American "Human Effigy" Stone Paint Pallet, Anasazi Culture 900 ADLocated in South Burlington, VTEarly American Pre-Historic Human Effigy Stone Paint Pallet, Anasazi culture 900 AD All stone carvings from America's Prehistoric southwest are scarce. The majority of known carved stones come from the Mimbres, Hohokam or Casas cultures. So examples of stone carvings from the Anasazi culture (circa 900–1300 AD) are rare especially human forms which are the rarest and some consider most desirable. This pallet is likely unique. The distinguishing characteristic of our paint pallet from the Anasazi culture is its creation from red sandstone- a material that was not used by the Mimbres, Hohokam or Casas cultures. Dimensions: 9.25 inches tall, 4.87 inches wide Quality: it exhibits no less than seven distinct pigment colors on the surface. The obverse has a distinctive head with three dimensional eyes and nose; there are four horizontal bands of color: red, white, dark red/white and black. The center of the pallet has a distinctive white pigment and the border is executed in both red and black. There are two well-defined legs, one red and the other black, which terminate in distinctive feet. On the reverse we find in the center seven clearly defined concentric painted rings, each a different color.
