Description: Antique Clay Aztec / Mayan Effigy Figure. Appears to be made of a crude clay like material. Measures 7 inches tall by 6 inches wide and about 5 inches deep. Condition is very good. The piece has no chips or other notable damage. Carefully packed and shipped the same or next business day. Here’s a bit of insight stolen from the internet: A synthesis of the Maya art can’t ignore the wonderful sculptures that, despite their small size and the brittle materials in which they were made, are still masterpieces of sculpture: like the clay figurines that have been found in many places, particularly in Palenque, Jonuta and especially Jaina. They were hand modeled or made in molds, perhaps all polychromed, and offer an incredible variety of subjects (animals, plants, humans, supernatural beings), an extraordinary fantasy in their attire, and a remarkable diversity of individuals (men, women, lords and ordinary people, priests, deities, human or mixed pairs -man or woman with an animal-, dwarfs, ball players, warriors, weavers, men and women with illness or body deformations, etc.). Made to accompany the dead in their graves, perhaps in their own image, they represented everyday life by their realism, authenticity, the extraordinary sense of observation they reveal, the ease with which the artist, or rather a whole legion of unknown artists, expressed, etc.
