Lot 94C
Pre-Columbian, Costa Rica, ca. 500 to 1500 CE. A pair of stone votive mace heads. Both are made of greenstone, although one has been smoothed more extensively. The smaller of the two - the smoother one - has an abstract human face carved in low relief on one side; the other has two small dots projecting from one side of the rim and an oddly tapered interior that may give an idea to how it was originally mounted. Size of largest: 1.9" W x 2.2" H (4.8 cm x 5.6 cm)
Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970.
