- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Colombia, Rio Magdalena culture, ca. 1000 to 1500 CE. A hand-built pottery lid of a sizable form meant to top an even larger burial urn. The width of the hemispherical base is meant to comfortably rest atop a vessel rim and supports a highly stylized female figure. Displayed nude and in natural buffware, the woman presents with her sex exposed between bent legs as she rests both upturned hands - each holding an abstract object - atop her knees. Her breasts and navel protrude from her body beneath a delineated clavicle, and her bulbous head features puffy eyes, an open mouth with a petite tongue, cupped ears with discoid ornamentation, and a coiffure that rests high on the brow. Faint remains of white and black pigment suggest this figure was painted with vibrant colors at one time. Size: 7.875" W x 12.875" H (20 cm x 32.7 cm)
Provenance: private Ventura, California, USA collection, acquired through descent; ex-private Ventura, California, USA collection, acquired at auction and from private collections from 1965 to 1970
