AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Four black obsidian idols – handcrafted sculptures
Fascinating figures/idols carved from black obsidian, featuring bold geometric craftsmanship and splendid golden and silvery reflections that emerge on the polished surface as the light shifts.
The figures, differing in size and pose, have highly stylized faces, elaborate headdresses, and numerous hand-engraved details. The contrast between the obsidian’s deep black and the stone’s natural iridescence makes the pair particularly striking.
Decorative objects with a strong presence, ideal for a collection of ethnic sculptures, pre-Columbian-inspired art, or worked minerals.
