- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A finely-crafted duo of terracotta standing female figures painted in a deep-red hue with white details. The first figure has arched feet, a skirt, attenuated limbs, a curved back, prominent beasts, and round shoulders. Her visage is comprised of characteristic sheepface qualities such as a protruding nose, pointed ears with large earspools, rounded eyes, painted full lips, and a tall forehead with a thin headband. The second figure has a slight forward-leaning posture with similarly-attenuated limbs, a flat back, and a slender neck with a painted bead pectoral. Her face has a conical nose, round eyes, a thin mouth, and pointed ears with small earspools. Her tall forehead is detailed with an incised hair design which is parted down the middle. Both figures are wonderful figurative examples from ancient West Mexico! Size of tallest: 5.5" H (14 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
