AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Unique hand-carved stone artifact – Sarcophagus sculpture with alien motifs

Auction offered: an intriguing and detailed stone art object from the find site Ojuelos de Jalisco, Mexico. This handmade piece depicts a reclining figure in a sarcophagus and is masterfully composed from three contrasting, authentic stones.

Materials and aesthetics

The main body of the sarcophagus is made from high-quality calcite marble. This stone has a warm beige to light brown base color and is threaded with natural, fine reddish veins that give the object a lived-in and organic appearance.

In the middle the figure holds an inlaid, round disk of pale green serpentine. The soft, mint-green hue forms a beautiful visual contrast with the surrounding marble. Centrally on the chest is a deep black, glossy inlay of polished obsidian, which reflects light strikingly and serves as the mystical centerpiece of the piece.

Detailed carving

The artifact is, on all sides, adorned with sharp, deeply cut engravings. The top depicts a stylized being with almond-shaped eyes. The underside of the piece is also fully decorated with a large, continuous engraving of an extraterrestrial figure with a ceremonial headdress, standing on a stepped platform. The notches are darkly accented to give extra depth to the geometric lines and symbols.

Specifications

• Length: 13.7 cm
• Height: 5.0 cm
• Width: 4.3 cm
• Weight: 232 g

Probably more than 150 years old but not with certainty due to the absence of a scientific age report.

This compact yet solid object is in excellent condition and, because of the theme and the beautiful combination of calcite marble, serpentine and obsidian, an absolute head-turner for collectors of special art, minerals, or fans of the extraterrestrial genre.

Detailed explanation about these Ojuelos de Jalisco alien figures, which seem to refer to visits by extraterrestrials in Mexico, can be found on Google and YouTube.

Dimensions: 13.7 cm x 5 cm x 4.3 cm.

In Europe rarely offered for sale and therefore extremely rare outside America.

Will be carefully packaged and shipped with Track & Trace.
