- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, Ameca style, Protoclassic period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hand-built pottery statue of a woman sitting with both legs folded beneath her thighs. The white-slipped figure wears a simple skirt around her waist while holding a bowl in her lap, and her nude torso displays large breasts and a delineated clavicle. One arm is held to her head and the other extended out in front of her body, perhaps as a defensive gesture, and she dons red-painted earrings and a similarly hued necklace. Her expressive countenance features cupped ears, a dramatically pointed nose adorned with a ring, bulging eyes, and a pinched jawline, all beneath a simple hat. Size: 7.6" W x 11.3" H (19.3 cm x 28.7 cm).
For a stylistically similar example without a bowl in the lap, please see: Kan, Michael, Clement Meighan, and H.B. Nicholson. "Sculpture of Ancient West Mexico: Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima | A Catalogue of the Proctor Stafford Collection at the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art." Los Angeles Country Museum of Art, 1989, p. 112, fig. 74.
Provenance: ex-Arte Primitivo, New York, New York, USA; ex-private Nevada, USA collection; ex-Dr. David Harner collection, Arkansas, USA, acquired in the 1950s to 1960s, collection #M83
