- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A fine pair of matching, hand-built pottery figures, each shown standing atop delineated legs. Both adorned in ochre and white pigment, the figures present with incised striations across both legs and both shoulders as well as holding both arms atop their chests. The first figure wears a belt fringed with four tooth-shaped ornaments, and the taller figure dons only a simple loincloth around their waist. Above the lozenge-form necklace ornaments are bulbous heads with incised eyes, protruding noses with septum ornaments, and slender mouths. Each head is topped with a cross-banded cap. A fascinating set of figures from the ancient Colima! Size of largest (without fringed belt): 3.125" W x 4.9" H (7.9 cm x 12.4 cm); 5.625" H (14.3 cm) on included custom stand.
