Olmec Standing Jade Figure

Ancient Pre-Columbian Jade Figure, from South Mexico, Olmec culture, ca. 900 - 400 B.C. Carved standing figure with drilled head; detailed human facial features, ample body with arms held tight to chest. Jade and similar green stones were among the most coveted commodities within the Olmec's extensive trade network (valued for its rarity and beauty, green stone was often used to sculpt figurines for burial caches, such as this example). 3-3/4"H, intact/excellent condition.

PROVENANCE: Ex-promient Santa Fe, NM Collection.
