196 COSTA RICAN STONE EFFIGY METATE GUANACASTE-NICOYA Ca. A. D. 300-700 Finely carved with prominent head of a raptorial bird with open, recurved beak, eyes treated as concentric circles, the openwork neck with bold guilloche and lozenge patterns the rectangular, slightly concave platform one end carved with a border of guilloche motifs, the three openwork legs highlighted by further decorative patterning; in grey volcanic stone, Length 86 cm Provenance Acquired in the early 1980s in the US Cf. Between Continents/Between Seas, fi g. 75 Metates, tablelike objects of stone used in ancient Mesoamerica for the grinding of foodstuff s such as corn, underwent particular elaboration in Central America, where they took on special meanings as well as unusual sculptural forms. Certain ancient rituals must have incorporated this activity and required special metates to be created for this purpose. The decorative quality of some Central American metates suggests a ceremonial function. Most are carved in volcanic stone, and bear fretted edges, tripod legs covered with geometric relief and cut-outs, and, at one end, an abstract animal-head motif, frequently a bird’s head. The ornament may be related to the owner of the object or to the ritual in which the metate was used. Its function as a surface for grinding maize, a staple food of the region from which they come, links these sculptures with the notion of fertility, a primary concern for an agricultural people. € 12 000 – 18 000
