- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, northern Mexico (Chalchihuites/Alta Vista/Chichimeca), Zacatecas culture, ca. 200 BCE to 300 CE. A hollow-built pottery male figure of a substantial size seated upon a large posterior, his knees tightly held against the sides of a cylindrical drum and with bent arms resting on top. The flat torso traces upwards to gently-sloping shoulders and a thick neck. The head boasts characteristically-stylized features like ovoid eyes, a rounded mouth, a prominent nose, and semicircular ears with pierced holes meant for additional ornamentation. The coiffure is styled in two projecting rods with discoid terminals. Layers of yellow-orange, crimson, and citrine pigment adorn the head and highly-burnished body, making this an attractive example of Zacatecas artistry! Size: 7.9" W x 14.8" H (20.1 cm x 37.6 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example, please see: Kan, Michael, Clement Meighan, and H. B. Nicholson. "Sculpture of Ancient West Mexico: Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima | A Catalogue of the Proctor Stafford Collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art." Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1989, p. 127, fig. 101.
