Hand Carved Mexican Onyx Marble Aztec/Mayan Tribal Bookends
$50
Excellent Condition.
One of our day trips, many years ago to Tecali de Herrera led us to find these unique bookends at Tellez Onix Marmol Diseno, one of the largest distributors/stores of Mexican Onyx Marble in the area. Of course, we immediately purchased them and brought them home. These bookends were hand-carved by the artisans in Tehuacan, Mexico, the second largest city in the Mexican state of Puebla. They’ve been mining and carving this stone since the late Pre-Classic period (300–200 B.C.). They are tall, quite heavy and beautifully done with distinct facial features that many other similar looking bookends lack. It’s time to let go of these, perhaps they will be the right set to hold up your books?
Features:
Dimensions: 8¼” high x 3 ½” depth x 2 ¾” wide base/1½” wide carving
Medium: Mexican Onyx Marble also known as Tecali Banded Onyx Marble
Weight: Together the two bookends weigh 6 lbs. 10½ oz. or 3 lbs. 5¼ oz. apiece
Colors: Various layers of different shades of grey, white and black
Hey, thanks for stopping by! Let me know if you have any questions!
