Exceptional Artifact & Collectible Auction
Lot 105:
3 7/8" Pre-Columbian Chalcedony Dual Form Effigy, 500 BCE–1200 CE
Exceptional Pre-Columbian effigy carved from high grade chalcedony, measuring approximately 3 7/8" in length. This museum grade artifact displays a distinctive dual form silhouette featuring two pointed ends on each side and a deliberate central void. The symmetrical outline and bifurcated structure are characteristic of symbolic eccentrics representing duality, opposing forces, or mirrored spiritual forms within Pre-Columbian ritual traditions. Crafted with refined lithic workmanship and exhibiting strong geometric balance, this rare example reflects the ceremonial and cosmological significance of abstract effigies produced between approximately 500 BCE and 1200 CE.
