- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, Chinesca style, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hand-built pottery figure of a woman standing atop wide, delineated legs and dramatically-arched feet. She wears a knee-length skirt, holds sinuous arms to her flat abdomen, and has sloping shoulders that taper inward to a simple applied necklace. Her characteristically-elongated head boasts impressed almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose with an accompanying ring, wide ears with large pierced holes intended for additional ornamentation, and a smooth brow, all topped with an elaborate headdress replete with thin striations, a textured brim, and an inverted pyramidal finial. Vivid areas of original orange and red pigmentation are still visible and create intricate geometric motifs on her head, face, and body. Size: 2.25" W x 8" H (5.7 cm x 20.3 cm); 8.6" H (21.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private lifetime collection of Dr. Saul Tuttman and Dr. Gregory Siskind, New York, New York, USA
