- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Jaina / Campeche Mexico, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 600 to 850 CE. A molded pottery figural rattle depicting a woman wearing a skirt, a huge necklace, large arm decorations that resemble armor, and a tall headdress. She also has a mark on her forehead that may indicate jewelry or scarification. The finery she wears indicates that the statue depicts a woman of high status. The rattle may once have been brightly painted - some Jaina pottery figures have preserved blue and yellow pigment. Size: 1.75" L x 3.4" W x 7.05" H (4.4 cm x 8.6 cm x 17.9 cm)
These figures, from an island off the Yucatan peninsula, are noted for their lifelike faces and their immense detail. The clothing that this figure wears almost certainly copies the real clothing of a person in the Late Classic Maya period. These figures probably represent actual people and seem likely to have been produced in Campeche and brought to Jaina Island to be buried with the dead.
