- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A beautiful redware olla vessel with a ribbed, round form that also acts as the body of an anthropomorphic figure. The squat vessel rests on a small round concave foot and the carinated walls are dimpled with small, raised nodules and arms molded in relief resting at right angles upon the vessel's broad shoulder. Next to each arm are taller nodes, which may represent the figure's breasts, and below the neck are several concentric beige bands painted onto the orange-red slipped surface as necklaces. The woman's head arises from the center forming the neck and spout opening in the top of her headdress. She faces forward with a trance like visage comprised of impressed coffee bean shaped eyes, a prominent nose, and parted lips, wearing a septum nose ring, large ear ornaments, and a coiled, turban like headdress. Good remains of the beige-tan, red and black pigments on her face create bands of tattoos over her nose eyes and top of nose, chin, and cheeks. Size: 7.5" Diameter x 6" H (19 cm x 15.2 cm)
For a similar example please see the Art Institute of Chicago's website, reference number: 1991.492.
