- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE; southern Mexico to Guatemala, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 900 CE. A nice gathering of two ancient Mesoamerican pottery figures. First is a Maya flat figure, mold-formed from pottery, that presents with attenuated limbs, an expressive visage with a prominent nose, and a massive headdress that towers over the effigy. The larger Colima figure is hand-built from pottery and presents standing on delineated legs and holding a puppy in its arms. Incised and applied decorations are adorned with white pigment to further accentuate the overall presentation. Size (Colima): 3.2" W x 5.625" H (8.1 cm x 14.3 cm); 6.3" H (16 cm) on included custom stand; (Maya): 2.5" W x 4.3" H (6.4 cm x 10.9 cm); 5" H (12.7 cm) on included custom stand.
