Description
Important Authenticated Pre-Columbian Olmec Jaguar Mask from Mexico, ca. 300 B.C. This masterfully carved serpentine mask is in the form of a Jaguar with the huge were-jaguar mouth and flame eyebrows. Probably the finest example ever offered on the market! The three dimensional carving of the piece is beyond impressive. We cannot stress the importance of this mask. This is a perfect example of the skill that was able to be achieved by the Olmec.8-5/16″ in height. The piece will be accompanied with TWO authentication reports both from CIRAM labs in France and Stoetzers Inc. in Miami. Custom museum quality stand included. If you would like to see the reports please contact us and we will send them promptly.
Condition
The piece has been professionally restored from about 4 pieces. The mask is complete and only the clean breaks were restored. One large visible break on the mask which was done in antiquity.
