- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Protoclassic Period, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A fierce terracotta warrior standing confidently with his legs spread apart and revealing his male genitalia, his large feet firmly planted on the ground as if poised for action, and both arms raised to hold an intimidating club before him. The proud figure is nude save his revealing loin cloth and a fitted helmet with a prominent chinstrap framing his expressive countenance. A circular abrasion over the forehead suggests the former presence of a horn indicative of shamanic status. This domineering figure looks out defiantly with steadfast round eyes delineated with partially perforated pupils, a prominent projecting nose, pursed lips, and elongated ears perforated for the suspension of ornaments. Clearly intended to represent an elite shaman, as he was decorated with the aforementioned headdress, horn, and intimidating weaponry. Size: 6.875" L x 9.875" W x 15.875" H (17.5 cm x 25.1 cm x 40.3 cm)
