- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A fabulous handmade pottery figure of a kneeling female figure exhibiting a square body, stubbed arms projecting from broad shoulders, a flat stomach, and pointed breasts. Supported by a thick neck, her enormous, ovoid head presents a pair of circular eyes, a sizable forehead with a straight brow, a sharp nose, and a gently opened mouth bearing top and bottom rows of incised teeth. A hood-like headdress tops her stylized visage, just above two curved ears, which each feature a central drill hole. Attenuated lower legs sit below her bulbous thighs, with the pads of her feet displayed upside-down beneath her posterior. She is further adorned with raised, dotted shoulder pellets, characteristic of Jalisco pottery figures, which scholars have interpreted variously as armor or ritual scarification. Boasting a lustrous burnish, the intriguing figure is embellished in a vivid coat of orange-red glaze with a creamy beige pigment covering her expressive visage, shoulder pellets, hands, and feet. Size: 12.5" W x 15.125" H (31.8 cm x 38.4 cm)
Provenance: private California, USA collection, 1970s
