- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A fantastic example of a hollow-built pottery figure exhibiting highly burnished surfaces and ample red-brown slip. The figure sits with one leg curled behind a squat drum while holding one hand atop the flat drumhead, rests with an upright posture that emphasizes the relatively flat chest, and slightly raises both shoulders adorned with dozens of ritual scarification nodules. The enlarged head peers slightly upwards with heavy-lidded eyes and parted lips as if chanting a prayer while playing the drum, with multiple earrings adorning each ear, and a semicircular brow line beneath the tight cap. Size: 10.5" W x 17.1" H (26.7 cm x 43.4 cm)
For a similar example of a seated figure without a drum, 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 County Museum of Art." University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, 1989, p.122, fig, 91.
Provenance: ex-private C. Webster collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, acquired before 2000
