- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, San Sebastian Red type, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hollow-formed pottery figure depicting an elderly matron of a dignified presentation who rests in a kneeling position with both feet protruding out from one side of her brick-red skirt. The highly burnished composition features a sloped lap beneath a nude upper body with a portly belly, globular breasts, and sinuous arms held gently against her sides. A minimalist necklace hanging around her neck bears a shell-form 'bead' on either side of a tubular central pendant, and her flared ears are adorned with incised ornamentation. Her elongated countenance faces forward in an attentive manner with an aquiline nose, coffee-bean-shaped eyes with lids heavy from her advanced age, slightly concave cheeks flanking a protruding chin, and bared teeth lined with over a dozen petite perforations, all beneath a minimalist headwrap. A vent hole behind the head allowed heat to escape when this sizable effigy was being fired. Size: 8" W x 15.8" H (20.3 cm x 40.1 cm)
