Description
A striking Mesoamerican carved stone head fragment, possibly from an ancient civilization such as the Aztecs or Mayans. The piece depicts a stylized human face with deeply incised eyes, nose, and mouth, framed by a prominent headdress or ceremonial adornment. The weathered surface and rough texture indicate significant age and exposure to natural elements over time. This artifact serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and cultural symbolism of Mesoamerican societies, where such carvings were often used in religious, architectural, or funerary contexts. Mounted on a custom metal stand for display.
