In stock

Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico, Guerrero region, Mezcala culture, ca. 500 to 200 BCE. A greenstone axe god figure carved in a highly abstracted anthropomorphic form, characterized by a blocky head, simplified torso, and bifurcated legs, with a smooth, dark green surface showing age wear. Such figures are associated with Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and were possibly reworked from earlier axe heads, likely serving as ritual objects or symbolic representations connected to fertility, ancestry, or protective forces.
