Up for auction is this authentic Pre Columbian pottery piece. It is made of clay and it is in the image of a Mayan God. I was told that pieces like this were buried in agricultural fields to bless the crops. It was probably used as some sort of idol. It came from Central America. It is pre-1600’s, and likely dates back to 300-1000 AD. It is in great condition for its age, but check all of the photos out. The face can be easily made out. It looks to be made of clay. There are some min...or chips so please look at all of the images carefully. It has been repaired. This is an incredible piece! Similar pieces go for hundreds at auction!! It is 100% guaranteed authentic! This would make an awesome gift!! Don’t pass it up!
Some info on pre columbian peoples: Pre-Columbian Artifact Of A Mayan God Figure. Estimated more than 500 yrs old. Pre-Columbian era incorporates all period subdivisions in the history and prehistory of the Americas before the appearance of significant European influences on the American continents. Many pre-Columbian civilizations established hallmarks which included permanent settlements, cities, agriculture, civic and monumental architecture, major earthworks, and complex societal hierarchies. Pre-Columbian art refers to the visual arts of indigenous peoples of the Caribbean, North, Central, and South Americas until the late 15th and early 16th centuries, and the time period marked by Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas. Pre-Columbian art thrived throughout the Americas from at least 13, 000 BCE to the European conquests. Many Pre-Columbian cultures did not have writing systems, so visual art expressed cosmologies, world views, religion, and philosophy of these cultures. During the period before and after European exploration and settlement of the Americas, indigenous native cultures produced a wide variety of visual arts, including painting on textiles, hides, rock and cave surfaces, bodies especially faces, ceramics, architectural features including interior murals, wood panels, and other available surfaces.
