Featured in this lot is this hand carved by the Olmec People and is one of the finest carvings. This piece was made by a highly skilled artisan showing a very smooth carved area and symmetry across the entire face. The Olmec people are considered to be one of the earliest greatest civilizations in Mesoamerica. The Olmec culture developed in the centuries before 1200BC (BCE), and declined around 400BC. The Olmecs were before the Mayans and Aztecs and were true artisans and masters of both colossal stone carvings and Jade Masks. This mask is believed to be from this era of time and very rare. (Note this does not come with a certificate of authenticity, but is believed to be of period and style). The Olmec figure shows a single hole at the top of the mask for attachment to a necklace. The condition of this Olmec mask is good with no obvious signs of damage and in good well preserved condition. The measurements of this Olmec mask is 2 1/8" x 1 1/2" x 3/4".
