- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Colombia, Sinu (Zenu) peoples, ca. 800 to 1200 CE. A rare and intriguing example of a hand-built pottery female figure seated upon an integral four-legged bench with a rectangular seat. The pale-orange woman is nude from the waist up and wears simple trousers, corded bangles around her forearms and lower legs, and a multi-stranded necklace around her stocky neck. Her raised head features wide-set, coffee-bean-shaped eyes, a perky nose above thin lips, rounded cheeks, and a pointed chin, all beneath a bowl-style coiffure that is surmounted by a large bowl. The Sinu tribe lived in the inland delta along the modern-day Colombian coast of the Caribbean Sea. Their famous goldsmithing talents drew the Spaniards to their region; however, they also created a wide range of intriguing ceramic sculptures that skillfully depict stylized anthropomorphic figures like this example. Size: 5.125" W x 8.9" H (13 cm x 22.6 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private T. Misenhimer collection, Beverly Hills, California, USA, collected from 1970 to 2008
