- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, southern Mexico, Oaxaca, Monte Alban, Zapotec culture, ca. 100 BCE to 200 CE. A fine example of a hand-built grayware pottery vessel with a flat base, a compressed spherical body with a flared pectoral collar, and a tall, cylindrical neck showcasing the abstract countenance of the goddess 8Z. The abstract female head presents with narrow eyes beneath bushy brows, tab-shaped ears adorned with discoid earspools, a thick upper lip curled up towards a trapezoidal nose, and a slender tongue hanging from her gaping mouth. Her headdress features three columnar projections centered with an incised diamond and with a thick band wrapping around the top portion of the neck. These elaborately decorated items were produced as prestige items, and local lords in the Monte Alban area received them via gift-giving networks that reinforced their power and societal standing. Size: 4.875" W x 8.125" H (12.4 cm x 20.6 cm)
Provenance: private Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, USA collection; ex-Samuel Dubiner Collection, Tel Aviv, Israel; purchased by current owner from Arte Primitivo auction in 2002
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
