Lot #76: Heavy Stone-Composition Mexican Tula Atlantes & Calendar Set – 3 Pieces

Impressive three-piece Mexican stone-composition display set featuring two approximately 14” tall representations of the Atlantes of Tula and a large approximately 12½” diameter Mesoamerican calendar-style plaque. All three pieces are substantial and heavy, with richly textured raised and incised detailing and an aged green/verdigris finish. The two sculptural figures are souvenir-style representations of the Atlantes of Tula, the monumental Toltec warrior figures associated with the archaeological site of Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico. The bases are marked with references to Tula, Hidalgo, and each incorporates a small ashtray/tray at the base. The large central circular plaque features an exceptionally detailed reproduction of the Aztec Calendar/Sun Stone, with concentric bands of intricate symbols and a central face. All three pieces have an aged green verdigris/antiqued finish with extensive raised and incised detailing. The set makes a dramatic Mexican, Mesoamerican or archaeological-themed display. Condition: Pre-owned/as found with considerable surface wear, patina, rubbing and discoloration consistent with age and use. The calendar plaque has been repaired, with the repair considerably less visible from the front but visible on the reverse. Please see photos carefully. The two figures have surface wear and age-related finish variation. Plate stand not included. Pickup category timeslot {A}
