- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, San Juanito, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A sizeable bichrome terracotta seated figure with traits characteristic of San Juanito types, including attenuated limbs, an oversized elongated head, and a wide torso. She wears elaborate earrings and a skirt, but is otherwise nude, thus revealing her pendulous breasts. Her visage is characteristically abstract with slit eyes, a long prominent nose, and slightly parted lips. Her seemingly forlorn facial expression and overall pose - with chin resting upon the raised right knee, left arm across the chest, and right hand placed upon the bent knee - is one of resignation, sorrow, or perhaps exhaustion. A marvelous figure that captures the humanity of the ancients in West Mexico. Size: 10" W x 14.7" H (25.4 cm x 37.3 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
Provenance: ex-private collection of the late Father Bader, University of St. Thomas, Houston, Texas, USA; exhibited in the University of St. Thomas Art Gallery, acquired prior to 2000
