- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $900**
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, Chinesco, Type B, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A wonderful example of a hand-built pottery Chinesco Type B figural vessel resting atop legs folded beneath thick thighs. Highly burnished and decorated with cream pigment atop a brick-red ground, the figure presents with a painted, stippled waist band while holding sinuous arms atop the relatively flat abdomen. A pair of petite, perky breasts protrude from just beneath the shoulders which are themselves dramatically hunched, and the thick neck tapers slightly to form the enlarged, heart-shaped head. The countenance is comprised of raised, coffee-bean eyes, a petite nose adorned with a nose ring, a narrow mouth, and perky ears, all beneath a peaked, incised coiffure with an openwork spout opening. Size: 6.5" W x 9.3" H (16.5 cm x 23.6 cm)
Provenance: private Healy collection, Studio City, California, USA, acquired May 2020; ex-Arte Primitivo, New York, New York, USA (May 29, 2020, lot 86); ex-collection of Richard Gregory (financial analyst for Hearst Magazines), 1980s, to current owner by inheritance
