Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A hand-built pottery figure seated upon crossed legs with thick arms draped gently over each knee. The figure sits upright and wears a broad belt across his waist, displays black bands across each bicep, and dons a beaded necklace around his muscular neck. His conical head presents impressed eyes, a tab-shaped nose with a nose ring, puffy cheeks, and perforated ears with simple earrings. A pair of incised grooves details his forehead and gives the appearance of a headband. Size: 4.625" W x 5.9" H (11.7 cm x 15 cm)

Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-Dr. David Harner collection, Springdale, Arkansas, USA, acquired between the 1950s and 1960s
