Found in west Mexico by the late Lynn Langdon in the mid-20th century, the figure is attributed to the Colima horizon dating c.300BC-300AD. An x-ray of the figure indicates some repair, but no significant restoration.

Positioned at its center is a 1” tall greenstone pendant that represents an anthropomorphic figure kneeling in a position of prayer or obeisance.

The mold produces the image of a standing male figure wearing ear spools and a funky headdress, and holding an indistinguishable object in his hands at his waistline.

Broken across the shallow hafting groove that encircled the axe, the head has no other significant damage and by itself is a good example of the skilled Pre-Columbian stone-worker’s art. Measuring 2 ¾” in length, and 1 5/8” in height at the head, the axe is attributed to the Colima horizon of west Mexico dating c.300BC-200AD. Made from grayish green volcanic rock, th ...click for details SHELL INLAID WOOD EAR PLUGS, MOCHE, PERU Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Americas: Pre Columbian: Handiwork: Pre 1492   item# 726389 (stock# LFG.442)  click for details HD ENTERPRISES, INC. 303-695-1301 $1500.00  This incredibly well preserved set of Pre-Columbian wood ear plugs (LFG442), on which the geometrically decorated shell and dark greenstone elements are each held in place with an almost invisible touch of contemporary glue, is attributed to the Moche horizon of Peru, c.100-800AD. Not wearable today due to the fragile nature of the wood that has dried and shrunk through the many centuries of entombment, there are certainly few other such pairs that have survived this well.
