- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Protoclassic, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A large, beautifully burnished, and well-modeled redware terracotta female, standing squarely upon sizeable feet and holding a long walking stick in her right hand. The figure presents a characteristically wide torso with nubbin breasts positioned close to her armpits; she wears a skirt, a beaded necklace comprised of painted round beads flanking a large, central, applied pendant and a headband; what's more, her pierced ears suggest that she once also wore dangling ear ornaments. She gazes forward with applied/pierced spherical eyes, a pronounced nose, and partially parted lips as if about to speak or sing. In addition, the pantomime-like gesture of her left hand and those enormous feet are endearing features that inspired early 20th century Mexican modernists like Diego Rivera who collected Pre-Columbian art. Size: 16.625" H (42.2 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private lifetime collection of Dr. Saul Tuttman and Dr. Gregory Siskind, New York, New York, USA, acquired 1970s
