- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE; West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. An amazing ensemble of four hand-built terracotta figures from a pair of ancient West Mexican cultures. First is a seated flute-playing Jalisco "sheepface" figure with a dark-gray coloration and remnants of its original red slip. Second is a female Jalisco "sheepface" figure with huge breasts, wide hips, and attenuated limbs. Her face displays characteristic "sheepface" qualities such as pointed ears, coffee-bean-shaped eyes, and a tall forehead, all in a creamy-yellow pigment. Third is a seated Colima figure with bent arms, wide, square ears, and an arching headband below an intentional opening, all detailed in red slip. Last is another seated Colima figure with sinuous arms, a thick neck, and naturalistic facial features beneath a similar opening atop the head. A wonderful collection from ancient West Mexico! Size of largest (standing Jalisco female): 9.8" H (24.9 cm).
Provenance: private Stagecoach, Nevada, USA collection; acquired from 1985 to present from galleries such as Arte Primitivo, Art For Eternity, Butterfields, and Riverbend Gallery
