- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $500**
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Chupicuaro, ca. 500 BCE to 300 CE. An intriguing, hand-built pottery vessel in the form of a stylized anthropomorphic figure seated upon thick legs and a stable, convex base. Highly burnished and presented in hues of russet, cream, and black, the figure bears protruding knees and arms, a squat head upon a broad neck, and a flared rim with a pair of suspension loops along the front. The fascinating face has incised, diamond-shaped eyes flanking a protruding nose, a rectangular cut-out mouth, perky ears, and X-shaped, cream-hued stripes across each cheek that are outlined in black. The cavernous interior cavity perhaps held funerary offerings or even the cremated remains of a deceased individual. Size: 6" W x 7.125" H (15.2 cm x 18.1 cm)
Provenance: private Healy collection, Studio City, California, USA, acquired December 2017; ex-Arte Primitivo, New york City, New york, USA; ex-Dr. David Harner collection, Arkansas, USA, acquired 1950s to 1960s; Exhibited: Marjorie Barrick Museum, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, 1990s and 2000s
