- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Gulf Coast of Mexico, Western Yucatan Peninsula, Jaina/Campeche, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 850 CE. A seated hand-built pottery figure with a distinguished headdress, modeled after a chieftain or elite member of society. The figure sits on crossed legs with a loin cloth draping down in three separate sheets. The crossed arms rest below a bowl shaped pectoral. The face is finely detailed with a hooknose, incised lips and eyes, and disc earrings. The headdress is comprised of applied oval shapes to the conical head. Jaina 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, as scholars believe that Jaina figures represented actual people, were produced in Campeche and brought to Jaina Island to be buried with the deceased. Size: 2.5" W x 6.6" H (6.4 cm x 16.8 cm)
