Mayan Cenote Yucatan Dig Pre-Columbian Stone Artifacts Animal Sheep Bunny 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 are unusual and are of a lamb/sheep and a bunny. The lamb has a gray-white color and is 1 3/4″ tall by 1 1/2″ wide. There is only the right front leg on this sheep, but the face is still very defined. There are two ears visible on either side and the face looks forward. The bunny is the orange looking stone. Its head pokes out with holes for eyes on either side.There are two ears that are attached to the small part of the body that is still with it. there is one foot still on it. 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!
