Pre Columbian Terracotta Head Figurine Fragment Mesoamerican Vera Cruz Artifact

An authentic ancient Pre-Columbian hand-modeled terracotta figurine head fragment, displaying classic stylistic characteristics of the Mesoamerican Gulf Coast (Veracruz / Remojadas tradition). Crafted from earthen red-buff clay, the sculptured countenance features almond-shaped slit eyes, a prominent angular nose, expressive lips, and large scrolled ear spools framing a vertically fluted or pleated fan headdress. The reverse exhibits an unworked, concave terracotta surface retaining an early 20th-century red-bordered collector paper inventory label with handwritten accession cataloging. In remarkably well-preserved condition as an excavated fragment, showing authentic mineral encrustation, soft earthen weathering, and sharp facial features with no modern restoration.
