Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, south-central Mexico, Morelos, Olmecoid, ca. 800 to 600 BCE. A remarkable terracotta figure of a seated human child, posed with legs akimbo and both hands resting on chubby thighs. The child presents a round belly, a recessed navel, and no visible sex, though prominent, delineated nipples. The plump arms and legs terminate in petite feet and hands that emphasize the shape of the body. The sizeable head displays the expressive visage of a crying infant - with narrow, squinting eyes, a broad nose, and a large, gaping mouth showing full lips. A pair of naturalistic ears flank the face, each featuring pierced lobes for suspending ornaments, sitting just below the elongated forehead and helmet-like cap with one raised area of incised striations. Size: 8.3" W x 12.3" H (21.1 cm x 31.2 cm)
