Chipped stone eccentrics, or symbolic-shaped stone artifacts, were one of the items manufactured in the Colha (Belize) workshops. These items were not used in daily life, but were used in ritual events. This is a beautiful example of these rare artifacts. Many Mayan eccentrics have what looks like a profile of a face chipped into the artifact. This artifact has a profile of a monkey's face with a headdress, with the tip being the headdress.

I've attached an image with lighting which highlights the flake scars. I highlighted the monkey's mouth, nose, eye and ear in a side by side image. The image may be depicting one of the Mayan Monkey Gods. I will continue to list artifacts from my personal collection over the next several weeks.

Unless stated otherwise, I believe that the artifacts I list are authentic. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Cultures & Ethnicities\Native American: US\Pre-1600\Artifacts". The seller is "m14w49" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
