- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Coahuayana Valley type, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A fine pair of nearly identical female effigy vessels that are hollow-built from redware pottery and exhibit high burnishing grooves across their surfaces. The feminine vessels present nude in seated poses with ample thighs and impressed striations forming the toes, hemispherical abdomens above delineated genitalia, perky breasts, broad shoulders adorned with ritual scarification pellets, and lengthy necklaces with either one or two central medallions. One woman dons slender bangles around her wrists while the other exhibits shallow grooves around her biceps. Both faces feature impressed, double-pupil eyes, petite noses, full lips, and perky ears, all decorated with pale orange pigment beneath their flared coiffures which double as the vessels' rims. Size (figure w/ bicep grooves): 8.7" W x 9.6" H (22.1 cm x 24.4 cm); (figure w/ wrist bangles): 8.1" W x 9.8" H (20.6 cm x 24.9 cm)

#160911Both figures are repaired from multiple large pieces, with resurfacing and overpainting along break lines. Both figures have abrasions along limbs, bodies, peripheries, and heads, with a few stable hairline fissures in some areas, and light encrustations within interior cavities and some recessed exterior areas. Great preservation to original pigment and figural detailing.Condition
