泰诺文化 公元10世纪至15世纪 硬玉 玩具人偶 - 11.2 cm

A Taino Jadeite Zemí (Idol), 10th to 15th Century A.D.

Delicate and finely carved jadeite stone zemí representing a stylized ancestral or protective spirit. The figure displays classic Taino aesthetic with a large head, deeply drilled circular eyes, prominent nose, and a compact body with subtle incised details. The stone shows an attractive turquoise-green to beige coloration with natural veining and a smooth polished surface.
Jadeite zemíes are among the rarest and most prestigious ritual objects of the Taino culture, highly valued for their symbolic power and the difficulty of working this extremely hard stone.
