Fine Guerrero Greenstone Head Amulet

**Originally Listed At $200**

Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Guerrero region, ca. 500 to 100 BCE. A petite head amulet of an attractive form, hand-carved from mottled sage-green stone with forest-green inclusions. The face crests along the nasal ridge and has indented eyes, full lips, tab-shaped ears, and a broad forehead. A pair of biconically-drilled suspension holes are situated atop the head and enable the head to be worn on a bracelet or necklace. A fabulous example of fine accessories from ancient Mexico! Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 1.3" W x 1.625" H (3.3 cm x 4.1 cm).
