Jalisco Sheepface Pottery Seated Warrior Figure

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A hollow-built and red-slipped pottery male warrior figure seated with bent legs and exposed genitals. The barrel-shaped body may represent a type of protective armor made from a combination of woven basketry and textiles that covered the entire torso of high-ranking warriors. The so-called "sheepface" form with a distinctive elongated head is characteristic of Jaslico figures which are from the West Mexican shaft tomb tradition and were made to be placed in tombs, where they lined the walls of the chamber while the deceased rested in the center. Size: 3" Diameter x 5" H (7.6 cm x 12.7 cm)

Provenance: ex-Marc Amiguet Schmitt estate, Amiguet's Ancient Art, Evansville, Indiana, USA, acquired prior to January 1, 2010
