About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Some forms transcend centuries without losing their power. Lying down, with the bust raised and the gaze turned to the side, this figure adopts the codes of the Chac Mool, an emblematic representation of Mesoamerican civilizations. Originally, these figures received offerings. Here, the small receptacle placed on the abdomen preserves that echo. The sculpture is carved from dense black stone, polished to achieve this deep, almost silent surface. Light doesn't reflect harshly off it; instead, it glides, revealing the volumes, the body's tensions, and the balance of its lines. The proportions are deliberately stylized. The head, structured by a geometric headdress, contrasts with the softness of the body's curves. Nothing is left to chance; everything is designed to give the piece a stable, almost timeless presence. This type of piece, made in Mexico in the 20th century, is part of a tradition of stone sculpture inspired by pre-Columbian forms, reinterpreted for decorative objects. Length approximately 15 cm. Weight: 554 g. Very good general condition. A dense, grounded piece that asserts its presence without ever demanding attention. Placed on a shelf or a desk, this black and silent figurine immediately imposes a sculptural presence. It fits into a collection of Mexican folk art or a contemporary interior that plays with contrasts of materials and colors.
