Zapotec Pottery Standing Figure w/ Braided Hat

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Oaxaca, Zapotec culture, ca. 600 to 800 CE. An attractive, mold-formed pottery figure standing in a dignified pose. The figure stands atop delineated legs, wears an ankle-length skirt beneath a V-shaped shawl, and holds both hands to broad hips. A beaded necklace with a central hemispherical medallion adorns the neck and, along with annular earspools and a braided hat, imbues the figure with a regal presentation. The protruding face bears heavy lidded eyes, puffy lips with a delineated philtrum, a prominent nose, and a wide forehead. A curved 'leg' emanates from the verso of the figure to aid with its balance. Size: 2.93" W x 5.32" H (7.4 cm x 13.5 cm)

Provenance: private Southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
