Greater Nicoya Stylized God-Axe

111
Esta hacha-dios de jade minimalista (500 a. C.–500 d. C.) presenta una forma humana muy abstracta, con ojos incisos y un rostro triangular que se fusiona con los brazos cruzados. El tocado y la forma alargada sugieren una figura sobrenatural, probablemente un chamán. Estas formas reflejan intentos tempranos de combinar el simbolismo sagrado con objetos utilitarios en la práctica ritual.
