Interesting design with at least 2 other characters. Looking at reverse,image 4, the back looks like a face, when tilted to side, image 5 a frog appears. Made from a fine grained marble like stone. This is an excellent example of the Tainos\'s concept of duality, ie, the seen and hidden,male and female, near and far, day and night etc., etc.,Well defined eye surrounds. Measures 6.5cm or 2.7\". Originally from the Dominican Republic and dating c1000-1500AD.If you are interested in Taino art history, check out my book \"Taino Sculpture, Art of the Gods\" available on and Amazon.
