Large Tlatilco Pottery Seated Female Figure, ex-Bonhams

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Valley of Mexico, Tlatilco culture, Early Formative period, ca. 1150 to 550 BCE. A splendid, hollow-built, pottery figure of sizable form depicting a seated female with splayed legs, attenuated arms, petite breasts, and sloped shoulders that gently taper to a wide neckline. Capped by a hemispherical coiffure or headdress, her oversized head features dramatically arched eyes with impressed pupils, a broad nose above parted lips, and tab-shaped ears with dangling earrings comprised of 3 circles that fall to either end of her broad necklace. Size: 4.25" L x 7.25" W x 12" H (10.8 cm x 18.4 cm x 30.5 cm)

Tlapacoya, a major archaeological site related to the Tlatilco people, is at the foot of the Tlapacoya volcano, south of Mexico City. The most famous finds at the site are human figures like this one. Were they funerary figures, made to be placed into graves? Were they toys? Used in ritual? Models of real individuals, eternally memorialized? We may never know!

Provenance: ex-John Moran Auctioneers, Monrovia, California, USA; ex-Bonhams, San Francisco "Native American and Pre-Columbian Art" auction (June 4th, 2007, lot 4548); ex-Fred-Wessman collection, Houston, Texas, USA
