Small Pre-Columbian Figurine – Ritual Stone Amulet
About the Item
An expressive and finely carved miniature Pre-Columbian figurine, measuring just 4 cm in height, yet rich in symbolic character and presence. Crafted from stone, the figure depicts a stylized human form seated or standing with hands cradling the torso—possibly signifying fertility, protection, or ritualistic significance.
The figure’s facial features are bold and abstract, with prominent blackened incisions accentuating the eyes, mouth, and other details, likely applied with mineral pigments. The back and sides are smoothly worked, and the surface exhibits a warm patina, evidence of centuries of age and handling.
Miniature sculptures such as this are often associated with personal devotion, funerary rites, or shamanic practices in ancient Pre-Columbian cultures. This example, with its compact size and strong sculptural presence, is a striking representation of early ritual art from the Americas.
