EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Double Aspect Celt Bird, originating from the Guacimo region in Linea Vieja, Central America. Crafted with exquisite precision and care by Pre-Columbian artisans, this green jade artifact stands at a height of 8 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The front view of this ancient masterpiece reveals an intricately carved bird figure, displaying stunning zoomorphic features. Its smooth texture and polished surface highlight the skillful craftsmanship that went into its creation. However, what truly sets this piece apart is its double aspect nature – when turned around, the reverse side unveils a mesmerizing feline or reptilian head. Every detail on this stone carving tells a story of Mesoamerican culture and artistry. The patterned design adds depth to the overall composition while showcasing the stylized elements characteristic of Costa Rican artifacts from that era. Preserved through time, this pre-Columbian treasure serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of Central America. As we admire it today through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of our connection to ancient civilizations and their profound contributions to human civilization.
