This Mixtec Green Jade Anthropomorphic Figure is a remarkable piece from the rich tapestry of Pre-Columbian history.

Measuring 65mm in height and weighing 66.8 grams, the figure's pose and expression are evocative of the Mixtec's religious beliefs and their veneration of deities. The exceptional craftsmanship displayed in the carving of this figure suggests it may have been of particular importance in Mixtec ritual practices or as a talisman.

Its rarity is accentuated not only by its exquisite artisanship but also by the significance of green jade in Mixtec culture. Such meticulously crafted pieces are scarce and offer a unique glimpse into the spiritual life of the ancient Mixtecs.

The Mixtec Jade Anthropomorphic Statue showcased in the images is a magnificent example of pre-Columbian artistry. The green jade from which it is carved was a highly esteemed material in Mesoamerican cultures, indicative of its owner's status and the object's ritual significance. The anthropomorphic figure, characterized by its distinct posture and facial features, reflects the Mixtec's sophisticated approach to representing the human form and their spiritual beliefs. The craftsmanship visible in the detailing of the figure's attire and the serene expression suggests a reverence for the subject matter, likely infusing the statue with cultural and perhaps divine importance. Its rarity and exceptional preservation heighten its value, making it a highlight for any collector interested in pre-Columbian artifacts.
