3I/Atlas Carved Jade/Serpentine Figurine – Olmec/Mesoamerican

This is a small hand-carved figurine, likely representing a seated human form with stylized facial and body features. The piece is made from a mottled green, brown, and cream stone—possibly jadeite, serpentine, or another similar hardstone—which was a material of high ritual significance in ancient Mesoamerican cultures (notably the Olmec, Maya, and early Aztec).

The posture (seated, knees drawn up) and drilled side holes suggest it may have been worn or strung, possibly serving as a ritual pendant, amulet, or ancestor effigy. The weathering, surface pitting, and mineral deposits indicate notable age, though without laboratory testing it’s difficult to determine whether it’s genuinely Pre-Columbian (c. 900–400 BCE for Olmec jade figurines) hi
