- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A fabulous handmade pottery figure of a kneeling female figure exhibiting a square body, stubbed arms projecting from broad shoulders, a curved stomach, and pointed breasts. Supported by a thick neck, her enormous, ovoid head presents a pair of almond-shaped eyes, an elongated forehead, a projecting nose with a ring-form septum ornament, full lips, and a gently opened mouth bearing top and bottom rows of incised teeth. A hood-like headdress tops her stylized visage, just above two curved ears, each fit with circular earspools. Attenuated lower legs sit below her bulbous thighs. Boasting a lustrous burnish, the intriguing figure is embellished in cream-hued glaze with a burnt orange pigment covering her skirt, and black-painted designs on her breasts, chest, neck, and earspools. Size: 6.875" W x 9.75" H (17.5 cm x 24.8 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Judith Meister collection, Highland Park, Illinois, USA, acquired between 1950 to 1994, thence by descent
