- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, Ixtlan Del Rio style, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE; Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. This is an interesting pair of ancient pottery artifacts comprised of a Colima effigy vessel, and a Nayarit figure. The vessel is in the form of an anthropomorphic seated "cargador" (literally "carrier") figure with bent legs, a hunched back, rounded shoulders with applied nodules - indicative of ritual scarification or ceremonial ornamentation. A large storage jar serves as the spout for the vessel and is supported on the figures' broad back, and his head juts forward, with applied headdress and stylized visage. The redware Nayarit figure is balanced on kneeling legs, with a raised a cylindrical implement to his mouth, likely a pipe or a flute. The stylized visage has coffee been eyes, and a broad cap or headdress, and slip painted in a deep russet hue. Size of cargador vessel: 6" L x 4" W x 5" H (15.2 cm x 10.2 cm x 12.7 cm)
Provenance: private Houston, Texas, USA collection; ex-private Houston, Texas, USA, collection, acquired before 2000
