An Olmec head in profile, gold-finished — the Olmec civilization's colossal stone heads are among the most recognizable Mesoamerican artifacts, and this piece translates that monumental scale into a tabletop object, incised lines defining the headdress and beard. At 2.4 kilograms. At home on a bookshelf or console table, it doesn't need much room to make an impression. The 24-karat gold finish is sealed under lacquer to resist tarnish; a soft, dry cloth is all it needs to keep its shine. Appeals particularly to collectors with an interest in Mesoamerican history and design. Handcrafted by D'Argenta in Mexico. Curated by Venustare. Signed, with Certificate of Authenticity.
