- Lot Description
Pre-Columbia, Caribbean, Taino, ca. 11th to 15th century CE. An endearing hand-carved sculpture of a mother and child. The forms are carved from a single piece of basalt stone with the child riding on the adult's back, gripping the shoulder and waist of the other figure. Both are highly stylized and simplified; the child's head is turned toward the side and has a visage that consists of huge eyes and a shallow groove for the mouth. The mother has an oversized head that accentuates her angular features: rectangular eyes, broad nose, nasolabial lines, and jutting chin. They rest upright on a flat base, and likely represent guardian or ancestral spirits. Size: 6" W x 9.5" H (15.2 cm x 24.1 cm)
Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
