- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Jaina/Campeche, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 600 to 850 CE. A lovely Maya Jaina terracotta figural rattle depicting a standing priest with both hands raised to his shoulders. He wears a sizeable beaded necklace, a tall feathered headdress, round earspools, a belt with a triangular motif that is spotted perhaps to represent jaguar pelt, and a netted pattern over his arms that may in fact represent maize. The face is finely rendered with elegant features as well as spots on the cheeks. Finally, the figure stands upon attenuated feet with incised toes. Nice traces of original blue pigment remain in areas, and the rattle is still fully functional. Size: 3.7" W x 6.95" H (9.4 cm x 17.7 cm)
These figures, from an island off the Yucatan peninsula, are noted for their lifelike faces and their immense detail. Scholars believe that they represented actual people and were probably created in Campeche and brought to Jaina Island to be buried with the deceased.
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
