- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Western Mexico, Nayarit, Lagunillas, Type A style, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A monumental hollow-cast pottery female figure standing with broad delineated legs and stylized feet. Nude save for a netted, belt-lined textile covering her pubis and defined female genitalia, her erect posture is emphasized by holding curved arms to her slightly-distended abdomen, with ample hips, rounded shoulders, and globular breasts defining her stature. A wide neck displays raised collar bones as well as a four-stranded necklace detailed with painted beading in black and white hues. A bulbous head is composed of wide almond eyes, cupped ears and a naturalistic nose adorned with several rings, and thin lips drawn into a slight smile, all beneath an incised coiffure with a casting hole on the verso. Covered in red-orange slip, this is an exceptionally stunning example of fine shaft-tomb pottery! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 8.25" W x 20.75" H (21 cm x 52.7 cm); 21" H (53.3 cm) on included custom stand.
West Mexican shaft tomb figures like this one derive their names from the central architectural feature that we know of from this culture. Elite individuals of the Nayarit culture would build generally rectangular vertical shafts down from the ground levelFigure repaired from multiple large pieces with some areas of restoration, resurfacing, and overpainting around neck, chest, verso, arms, legs, and feet. Surface wear and abrasions commensurate with age as expected, fading and staining to areas of pigmentation, chips and light roughness across most surfaces, and fading to some painted details. Nice earthen deposits, mineral deposits, and root marks throughout. Nice craquelure to slip in some areas.Condition
