This pair of green stone mask plaques is executed in the Pre-Columbian revival tradition, drawing directly from Olmec and early Maya sculptural conventions.
The stylized faces display almond-shaped eyes, pronounced brow ridges, broad noses, and open mouths—hallmarks associated with ceremonial stone carving from ancient Mesoamerica. Incised linear detailing suggests abstracted headdress forms, while the flattened backs indicate intentional production for wall display rather than ritual use.
The material appears to be a serpentine-type green stone, selected to reference the jade and greenstone historically valued by Olmec cultures. These works are modern decorative objects created as interpretive homages, suitable as architectural wall accents or as part of a curated collection focused on Mesoamerican-inspired art.
Provenance details unknown; acquired directly from a Northern California collection.
