Modern Pre-Columbian Maya–style green stone plaque, created as a faithful reproduction after the famous “Guennol Maya Plaque of a Lord,” a Late Classic Maya masterpiece that sold at Sotheby’s for $101,600 USD.

The original Guennol Maya Plaque dates to the Late Classic period (circa AD 550–950) and is one of the most celebrated Maya jade carvings to appear at auction. This reproduction closely follows the iconography, proportions, and format of the original, depicting a standing Maya lord in ceremonial attire with hieroglyphic and symbolic elements.

Notably, this reproduction matches the height of the original, measuring 3 3/8 inches, making it an accurate study and display copy.

Carved from green stone with natural veining, tonal variation, and inclusions, the piece was produced as a decorative or educational reproduction and is not an ancient artifact.

The original sold for $101,000. Many copies being sold on eBay for authentic. The reality is that original pieces cost tens of thousands of dollars in jade. Own a faithful copy for a small percentage of an original. We can make custom pieces in jade as well.
