- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Mexico, Valley of Mexico, Tlatilco, ca. 1000 to 500 BCE. A fabulous hand-built pottery "pretty lady" figure with noteworthy Olmecoid features. She is depicted standing atop delineated legs and knobby knees, with wide hips tapering up the rounded torso to perky breasts, and tubular arms with stylized fingers are held outward from rounded shoulders. Ovoid eyes with impressed pupils beneath thin brows, a prominent nose, grooved teeth between puffy, smiling lips, and ring-adorned ears comprise the expressive visage, and a simple cap with five applied bands tops the head. Thick traces of white and bright orange pigment are visible atop the pale-orange buffware surface and suggest this figure at one time exhibited vibrant painted decorations. An early example of fine Tlatilco artistry! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 3.125" W x 7.875" H (7.9 cm x 20 cm); 8.125" H (20.6 cm) on included custom stand.
