Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, Chinesco type, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hand-built pottery figure seated with bent legs and arms stacked atop the knees. The beige-skinned figure is decorated with applied red tattooing across the face and upper body, and a petite knob emanated from above the coiffure. Coffee bean eyes surrounded by dark circles, a slender nose, thin lips, and pierced ears comprise the expressive countenance that - combined with the mildly hunched back - lends to the idea of this depicting an individual of relatively advanced age. Size: 5.5" L x 4.5" W x 8.125" H (14 cm x 11.4 cm x 20.6 cm)
