- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Michoacan, Protoclassic Period, ca. 500 to 100 BCE; Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A wonderful ensemble of 3 pottery figures; 2 from Jalisco culture and 1 from Michoacan. The 2 larger figures are from Jalisco culture. The first presents as a female depicted standing with arms held outwards from her thick body with round breasts and a protruding belly, all supported by straight legs. Her elongated head displays a pointed chin, full lips, a prominent nose, coffee bean-shaped eyes, and a towering forehead topped by an applied headband. The second figure is male and exhibits a flat body with thick legs and long arms bent at the elbows so that both hands rest on his body, in a Venus pudica-like position. His sizeable head features ovoid eyes, a bent nose, and an incised mouth. Though nude, he is adorned by a headdress, earrings, a necklace, and armbands. Last, the third figure is from the Michoacan culture. This standing male is also nude, save a broad collar necklace, earspools, and a tall headdress. He stands with legs held together, flanking his genitals, as his body curves forward and his arms are held outwards. His square visage displays slanted eyes, a bulbous nose, and a petite mouth. A fantastic gathering of examples from ancient West Mexico! Size of largest: 2.375" W x 4.25" H (6 cm x 10.8 cm)
Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-Dr. David Harner collection, Springdale, Arkansas, USA, acquired between the 1950s and 1960s
