It was hand-carved out of local dark green serpentine stone, featuring a classic interlocking \"69\" composition of figures explicitly styled to mimic ancient West Mexican Pre-Columbian erotic artifacts (such as those from the Colima and Nayarit traditions). It is a wonderfully expressive, tactile piece of vintage souvenir art with a smooth pocket patina and traditional white powder slurry accenting the deep incised lines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod: \u003c\/strong\u003e1970s (Mid-to-Late 20th Century)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mexico (Guerrero or Colima lapidary traditions)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize Classification: \u003c\/strong\u003eMiniature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.65 x 0.79 x 1.18 inches (Approximately 1 1\/4 inches tall)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soapstone with marble-dust groove accent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eFolk Art, Pre-Columbian Revival Style\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheme\/Symbolism\u003c\/strong\u003e: Erotic Interlocking Figures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\/Maker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unsigned Artisan, Regional Cooperative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition with smooth handling wear on high points and authentic tooling marks on the flat base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-crafted during the mid-century Mexican tourism boom, this piece reflects the output of regional lapidary artisan cooperatives in areas like Guerrero and Colima. Rather than being individual studio pieces or factory-molded items, these small serpentine pocket curios were crafted collectively using traditional hand files, rasps, and marble-dust slurries to recreate an ancient Pre-Columbian aesthetic for travelers. Emerging right alongside the cultural shifts of the 1970s sexual revolution, such playful and taboo-breaking pocket curios captured a newfound mainstream freedom and openness around human intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artisan Cooperative","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47727631073469,"sku":"FIGURINE003-D","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/FIGURINE003-Da.jpg?v=1785021740","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/1970s-erotic-mexican-folk-art-carving","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
