Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Zacatecas culture, Early Classic Period, ca. 250 to 450 CE. A superb hand-built pottery figure depicting a female elaborately adorned in hand-painted stripes, undulating striations, and dotted motifs as she sits atop bulbous legs and gazes forth from a trance-like countenance of wide eyes and a gaping mouth as though reciting a spiritual chant. Arms akimbo, her upright posture exudes confidence, slender arms sharply contrasting her thick plank, while her supple breasts and drilled navel highlight her fertility; the hollow state of her body perhaps acknowledging her as a vessel for human life. The consistency of form as well as the bright, recognizable colors of the slip pigmentation, and highly abstract presentation make Zacatecas pottery some of the most unique ceramic statues from anywhere in the world. Though specific to areas of Jalisco, Mexico, these statues are often scarce as scholars believe they were produced only for a brief period of ancient Mesoamerican history. Size: 9.2" W x 16" H (23.4 cm x 40.6 cm)
