Rare Olmec Jade Mask – Large Ancient-Style Pre-Columbian Mask with Engraved Symbols – 20 cm
- Price Upon Request
Rare and impressive large Olmec-style jade mask featuring exceptional engraved symbols and a remarkable aged surface. Carved from solid jade stone, the material displays natural mineral variations ranging from soft celadon green to deeper moss and earthy inclusions, characteristic of genuine jade with natural stone structure rather than uniform coloration.
The mask exhibits a beautiful, time-developed patina: a soft, satin-like surface sheen created through age, handling, and natural oxidation of the stone. This patina gently rounds the sharper edges of the carving and settles into the engraved symbols, emphasizing their contrast and visual depth. The result is a harmonious balance between polished highlights and darker recessed areas, lending the piece a distinguished historic presence.
Strong facial features, almond-shaped eyes, and symbolic engravings across the forehead reflect the powerful aesthetics associated with ancient Mesoamerican artistry. Whether presented as wall art or as part of a curated collection, this jade mask conveys timeless material richness and sculptural presence.

The overall above-and-beyond customer service that I have received is something that I have never experienced before. Unfortunately for me, the bow that I purchased arrived completely broken - purely the fault of ignorant shipping agents somewhere in its transit. Andreas exhibited unparalleled professionalism, responsiveness, promptness, kindness and compassion in resolving this with me. Rare to be sure these days! I hope to do business with him again in the future!

I recently purchased a violin bow from here. The bow is just as described, high-quality and all prepared for play. The silver winding and frog look great.
Communication was good and they shipped quickly. The bow was safely packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that, while the bow performs exceptionally well, I found it slightly heavier than expected.

Wasn’t totally sure what to expect since there weren’t many reviews, but this bow completely surprised me. It got this for my daughter who needed a good follow-on bow as shes getting much better at playing... Honestly, took a bit of a gamble, but I’m really happy I did. ..Definitely a great find!

Looks better than expected!! Arrived in perfect condition, carefully packaged with bubble wrap. The sculpture looks sleek and polished, and has the artist's signature on the back so a genuine piece. It works great for my Airbnb. These guys are great.
