- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hand-built pottery female figure of a characteristically 'flat' form standing upon lengthy delineated legs and miniscule feet. She bears impressed genitalia below her lightly-bulging abdomen, has bent sinuous arms adorned with small cuffs with one holding a small jar on her shoulder, and an applied necklace with a large pectoral pendant. Her elongated head boasts coffee-bean-shaped eyes, a perky nose, thin lips, drooping ears with small earrings, and a wide brow, all capped with a simple head band and a striated coiffure. Size: 4.375" W x 7.55" H (11.1 cm x 19.2 cm); 8" H (20.3 cm) on included custom stand.
