- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Gulf Coast of Mexico, northern Veracruz region, Huastec culture, ca. 600 to 900 CE. A beautiful female figure known as a 'pretty lady' that is hand-built from pottery and presented in her natural buffware state. The nude woman stands atop tall, delineated legs bearing incised toes and thick thighs, and her gently corseted abdomen extends up to her spherical breasts and prominent shoulders. She dons an impressed necklace as well as vertical bars applied to her shoulders. Her sensitive visage is comprised of slender eyes, a triangular nose, thin lips above a rounded chin, and annular ears, all beneath a broad headdress with a projecting central element. This woman perhaps represented a member of the societal elite or even a female athlete. Size: 4.125" W x 13.125" H (10.5 cm x 33.3 cm); 13.375" H (34 cm) on included custom stand.
Cf. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1979.206.1084
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Sidney Berman collection, New York, New York, USA, before 2000
