AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A set of two finely hand-carved Mexican sculptures of polished obsidian, executed as stylized seated figures with tall ceremonial headdresses.
The sculptures are crafted in a modern interpretation of pre-Columbian/Aztec iconography. Notable are the strongly geometric facial features, deeply incised decorations, and the highly glossy polished surfaces.
One sculpture is rendered in deep black obsidian; the second shows clear bronze-gold tinted shades that match gold sheen obsidian. Both are carved from solid stone and together form a decorative and beautifully cohesive pair.
