- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, La Tolita (sometimes Tumaco), ca. 350 BCE to 350 CE. A charming hollow-molded pottery figure of a mother and child. Standing upon sturdy legs and broad feet, the ancient woman displays a thick body with sloped shoulders and a sizable head. Her slender arms are bent at the elbows in order to hold a petite infant in her lap, who sucks at her teat. Topped with a bulbous headdress, the lovely woman wears a knee-length skirt, several bangles, a multi-layered collar necklace with a rectangular pendant, and a pair of large, circular earspools. She glares forwards from heavy-lidded, almond-shaped eyes above a prominent nose, straight mouth, and jutting chin. The child rests safely in her embrace, laying horizontally in profile and placing one arm upon the breast of its mother. Size: 4.25" W x 8.5" H (10.8 cm x 21.6 cm)
Provenance: private Washington, USA collection, acquired June 23, 2001; ex-Joel Malter collection, Van Nuys, California, USA
