An impressive Pre-Columbian stone fragment of a male figure, originating from the Atlantic Watershed region of Costa Rica, dating approximately 700–1100 CE. Skillfully carved from volcanic stone, the fragment is presented on a custom metal display base, highlighting its sculptural presence and cultural significance.

The bold, geometric facial features and robust form are characteristic of the Atlantic Watershed sculptural style, known for its monumental stone figures. This striking artifact represents the stylistic and spiritual traditions of ancient Costa Rican societies, likely part of a larger anthropomorphic sculpture once used in ceremonial or funerary contexts. A rare and powerful piece of Pre-Columbian art, ideal for collectors of ancient Central American cultures or museum-quality ethnographic material.
