- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Guerrero, Mexico, Mezcala culture, ca. 700 BCE to 650 CE; West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A fine collection of four different stone and pottery items from ancient Meso-American cultures. The first is a rare miniature mortar showing elegant detailing with string-cut lines, standing on rounded tripod feet. The simple beauty of the stone with its subtle creamy hues is quite pleasing. This mortar, most likely intended for ceremonial use, has a shallow basin on the top. The next two are large stone beads made from pretty mottled stones. Both are drilled laterally through the center for suspension. The larger bead has a flared rim around one end of the opening, while the other presents a slightly piriform shape. The last piece is a petite seated pottery figure or amulet. The person sits on bent legs with his head slightly forward and his hands on his stomach. He wears earspools and a pointed conical headdress; a style that is iconic of Colima figures. A perforation is drilled through his head, perhaps so that it could be worn as a protective charm. Size of mortar: 1.75" W x 1.75" H (4.4 cm x 4.4 cm); figure: .75" W x 1" H (1.9 cm x 2.5 cm)
Provenance: ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, Illinoise, USA, around 1975
