Item Details

Description

Originally listed at $600

Pre-Columbian, Mesoamerican Formative Period, Guerrero State, Mexico, Xochipala culture, ca. 13th to 10th century BCE. A trio of small pottery human figures made by hand and with added applied details. These figures originally had polychrome decoration. Their clothing is rough and they have no obvious sex; all three, however, wear large headdresses of similar squared-off design. These figures, while rare, are noted for their naturalistic poses and attention to detail, despite their early date in the Mesoamerican ceramic tradition. Unlike the Olmec, who seem to have deliberately abstracted human figures, perhaps to remove them from the quotidian world, the artisans of Xochipala seemed intent on creating the most naturalistic representations possible. Each has a custom stand. Size of largest: 1.8" W x 4.15" H (4.6 cm x 10.5 cm)

Provenance: Ex-Private Ventura County, CA collection acquired before 1980
