Extremely rare highly polished serpentine stone. Valdivia 8 (Piquigua Phase). This single sided stone plaque in bas-relief with deeply excised carving and are said by many to stylized zoomorphic features and resemble an owl. We disagree, as they appear to be humanoid showing either appendages or articles of clothing. Choice. Measures just under 8" in height.
