- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Chihuahua, Casas Grandes (also known as Paquime), ca. 1280 to 1450 CE. A delightful, handbuilt and beautifully painted human effigy vessel depicting a nude seated female with features delineated in low to high relief, including breasts and genitalia, hands placed over the abdomen just beneath the breasts, and feet outstretched before her. Her head rises above the front rim of the vessel, with wonderful details delineated in relief and painted in red and black over the cream ground. These include wide open eyes with lashes, pursed lips, striated tattoo marks or face paint on her cheeks, a short coiffure, a band of nested zigzag motifs over her chest, 'beaded' bracelets, armlets on one arm, a single dot on each knee, and step motifs adorning her hips. On the opposite side of the vessel which perhaps doubles as her rounded back is a central serpent motif comprised of checkerboard and solid panels, an expressive visage with open eyes and a forked tongue emerging from a toothy mouth, as well as a forked tail. Size: 6.5" L x 5.25" W x 7.5" H (16.5 cm x 13.3 cm x 19 cm)
Casas Grandes (Spanish for Great Houses; also known as Paquime) is a prehistoric archaeological site in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Casas Grandes is one of the largest and most complex Mogollon culture sites in the region. Settlement began after 1130 CE, and would see the larger buildings developed into multi-storied dwellings after 1350 CE. The community was abandoned approximately 1450 CE. Casas Grandes is regarded as one of the most significant Mogollon archaeological zones in the northwestern Mexico region, linking it to other sites in Arizona and New Mexico in the United States, and exhibiting the expanse of the Mogollon sphere of influence.
