AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Mexican terracotta sculpture depicting a male warrior-type figure, strongly inspired by Aztec/Mexica iconography.
The sculpture features a prominent headdress comprising several feather-like or pointed elements, large ear ornaments, a decorated pectoral, and various attributes held in the hands. The face is particularly expressive, with an open mouth and stylized features characteristic of Mesoamerican-inspired representations.
The piece is made of terracotta/ceramic, with polychrome decoration in brown-red, black and light tones. It rests on an integrated oval base within the sculpture.
