- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hand-built redware pottery reclinatorio vessel of an intriguing, abstract form exhibiting a sloped backrest that is supported by a pair of anthropomorphic legs on the verso. Covered in hues of russet, coral, and burgundy, the obverse of the piece bears characteristics of a few different zoomorphs including a forked piscine tail, a lobed, heart-shaped body reminiscent of an avian breast, lateral fins or petite wings, and a slanted, drop-form head with a petite beak. Behind the bulbous head is the vessel's slanted spout, suggesting this was intended to hold funerary offerings for the dead. Size: 8.625" W x 9.5" H (21.9 cm x 24.1 cm)
Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired at auction around 2004

#169307Repair to upper half of spout along back side, lateral fin along lower right side, and both legs, with restoration along reattachment areas, and resurfacing with overpainting along new material and break lines.

Great surface smoothness throughout, and nice preservation to most original pigment. Good manganese deposits along verso.Condition
