- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. Three lovely standing pottery figures, each one hand-built from terracotta and embellished with russet red and creamy white slip. All of the figures present with characteristically oversized heads and elaborate headdresses. Depicted nude or mostly nude, two of the figures present voluminous breasts and appear to be female, while the third is male, with a delineated penis. The larger female sits with outstretched legs under a skirt-like garment and is highly decorated with a 'beaded' necklace and large ear ornaments. The more petite female stands upon her parted legs and has shoulder pellets and an openwork navel. The male figure has red leg coverings, though his openwork navel and projecting penis are still visible. Three fabulous human effigies from this ancient Mesoamerican culture! Size of tallest figure: 7.75" H (19.7 cm)
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
