Lot #29: “Unity of the Ancients – Hand-Carved Terracotta Tribal Plaque”

Elevate your collection with this striking hand-carved terracotta plaque, a sculptural tribute to early human symbolism and communal identity. Crafted with deliberate primitivist lines and warm earth-toned clay, the piece features a commanding central figure accompanied by a unified chain of five stylized human forms — a powerful visual narrative of protection, leadership, and shared spirit. The artist’s minimalist, almost petroglyph-like carving style evokes the aesthetics of Indigenous North American, Mesoamerican, and early Southwest tribal iconography, making it an exceptional décor piece for collectors who appreciate ethnographic, folk-art, or archaeological-inspired works. The natural clay finish, subtle patina, and original leather hanging strap add to its authenticity and organic appeal. Ideal for display in a gallery wall, modern rustic interior, cabin, or curated cultural vignette, this plaque stands out as a conversation piece that feels both ancient in spirit and contemporary in form.
