Pre-Columbian - Head of a Maya deity 500/1000 BC!

Maya deity head in terracotta, pre-Columbian art. Between 500 and 1000 BC This sculpted fragment represents a sacred face with stylized features, characteristic of classic Mesoamerican aesthetics. The expression is solemn and hieratic: almond-shaped, half-closed eyes, compact mouth, and powerful modeling of the nose and cheekbones. The pronounced frontal aspect gives the whole piece a marked ritual presence. Mounted on a discreet contemporary base, the piece is suitable for a museum-type presentation.
