Material: Marble Onyx Natural Stone |
THIS AUCTION IS FOR: Wonderfully expressive and masterfully hand carved 10.25" high male figure.
Found at the estate of a well-to-do person who was obviously an enthusiastic world traveler.
...>Please see pictures; I attempted to photo in many different lights, both indoor and outdoor, flash and no flash.
Material resembles marble, dark green with orange specks.
Exact origin unknown. Interesting symbols; large headdress which falls forward, a phallus-like growth beneath it. Figure is holding a cat by the cat's haunches, cat is looking up at face, hopefully not sacrificial? Figure is wearing a loincloth and is kneeling.
If anyone recognizes this figure as a particular culture please message me and I will add your information to the listing.
To me it suggests Central / South American, Polynesian, Hawaiian or some other South Pacific origin.
Please feel free to message me your comments and questions. Thanks for looking!
