- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, Chinesco, Type B, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A hand-built and highly-burnished redware pottery female figure depicted sitting on a sizable posterior with her stubby legs laying before her and her attenuated arms bent at the elbows and resting atop her bulbous belly. Presenting a rectangular form, the ancient figure features square shoulders with risen breasts below each and an ovoid head. Her ancient visage displays two incised, closed eyes, slanted as though she is smiling and a large noble nose fitted with a crescent-shaped septum piercing. A pair of half-circle ears flank her face and a lovely widow's peak of incised hair caps her head. Clearly a person of high importance, she is heavily adorned with painted beige details of a spotted central band, a collared necklace with several circular embellishments, two anklets, and spotted shoulders. The dots decorating her shoulders are a typical characteristic of pottery figures from Western Mexico and have been argued by scholars to possibly represent armor or ritualistic scarification. Size: 7.125" W x 10.75" H (18.1 cm x 27.3 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Monell collection, 1960s through the 1980s
