2 Mayan Cenote Yucatan Dig Pre-Columbian Stone Ancient Artifact Heads L4Z

For your consideration are these wonderful artifacts from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The Mayans migrated to the area called Yucatan around 2500 B.C. and made many wonders from stone and clay that are being found to this day. The area was officially named Yucatan in 1517 by Cordova of Spain due to not being able to understand what the Mayans were telling him. In 1562 the Spaniards destroyed most of the Mayan’s books and statues in hopes of ruining their culture and colonizing them so the pieces found today are very valued, and much more so if in a whole piece.

These two pieces we have for you were found in a dig and are of two faces. One of the heads is more 3D than the other and is approximately 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ x 1″. The top left of the forehead is not with this piece anymore, but it still shows the intricate workmanship by the carving of the face. The other piece in this set is more flat and is approximately 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ x 1/2″. The left of the face is mostly gone but the right is there, displaying the same detailed craftsmanship found in the other piece. These are in “as is” condition from the dig and they come with a display box. These are amazing pieces of history that you can own yourself. Please see our pictures for more detail. Thank you!
