Pair Manabi Bahia Pottery Female Figures

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Manabi, Bahia culture, ca. 500 BCE to 500 CE. A fine pair of mold-made pottery female figures. Nearly identical in all but scale, the ancient figures each display a thick body with stocky limbs, a large head, and raised breasts. Both lovely ladies wear shin-length skirts, tight-fitting necklaces, armbands, and sizeable headdresses, as they gaze forward from generously lidded eyes above a naturalistic nose with a septum adornment. Prominent ear cuffs further embellish the more petite figure, who holds her mouth open as though mid-speech or chant. Size: 3.8" W x 6.9" H (9.7 cm x 17.5 cm)

Provenance: ex-private Valencia, California, USA collection
