**Originally Listed At $450**
Pre-Columbian, Valley of Mexico, Tlatilco culture, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. A hand-built pottery female figure known as a 'pretty lady' standing with delineated legs and petite feet. Her ample thighs taper dramatically to form the narrow waist, with incised locks of hair draped over her shoulders and breasts, and attenuated arms protruding from sloped shoulders. Her downcast face bears an Olmec-style maskette indicated by the grooved upper brim and features trapezoidal eye holes, a rounded nose, and a narrow mouth, all beneath a centrally parted coiffure topped with a 'beaded' headband. Areas of red, orange, and white pigment are visible across the figure. Size: 1.8" W x 4.125" H (4.6 cm x 10.5 cm); 4.5" H (11.4 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Arte Primitivo Gallery, New York, New York, USA; ex-Ken Bauer collection, New York, USA, 1950-2000
