Mezcala Stone Standing Figure - PF.2265,Origin: Guerrero, Mexico,Circa: 300 BC to 300 AD,Dimensions: 4.5" (11.4cm) high,Collection: Pre-Columbian,Style: Mezcala,Medium: Stone. Powerful and mysterious, the human form seems to emerge from the soul of the stone itself. With the simplest of details, a few quick lines, the artist has delineated a very real personality. There is something primal about this figure, as if he had been around since the rock itself was new. He radiates the energy of monolithic sculpture on a much larger scale.
