- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Gulf Coast Mexico, Veracruz (Vera Cruz, also Totonac or Totonaca), Remojadas, ca. 300 to 600 CE. A remarkable pottery warrior standing atop delineated legs with arms falling parallel to his body and balancing with a third 'leg' protruding from his verso. Embellished with red and black pigment, the ancient figure is heavily adorned by a rectangular loin cloth, several thick belts, a large chest piece with fringed shoulder pads, huge, egg-shaped ear adornments, a septum piercing, and a giant, elaborate headdress. His expressive visage displays slanted eyes, a naturalistic nose, and full lips held open, while his intricate headdress showcases a hemispherical form with a projecting bird beak, and starburst-like embellishments. Size: 3.75" W x 9.625" H (9.5 cm x 24.4 cm)
The sophisticated skills used by the artist to construct this piece demonstrate how advanced ceramic technology was in this culture. The arms, head, and legs, all hollow, were made separately and fitted onto the torso, with the joints smoothed over to disguise them. The piece was fired all together after the clay had dried for a brief period. Imagine the workshop where this item was made - full of disembodied limbs and heads in the process of being sculpted into shape.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Barry Kernerman collection, Toronto, Canada; ex-Samuel Dubiner collection, Tel Aviv, Israel, acquired in the 1960s
