Rare Xochipala Pottery Standing Female Figure

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Southwest Mexico, Guerrero State, Xochipala culture, Mesoamerican Formative Period, ca. 13th to 10th century BCE. A hand-built pottery female of abstract form given the obscure nature of the facial area bearing an incised panel of solid and stippled sections. The body itself adheres to typical anthropomorphic standards - exposed breasts, rounded shoulders, stylized limbs, red pigment decoration - but replaces the head with an intriguing panel, perhaps a mask or a signifier that this individual is deceased. Size: 1.25" L x 3.2" W x 7.5" H (3.2 cm x 8.1 cm x 19 cm); 9.25" H (23.5 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: Private Reinsmoen collection, Clear Lake, Iowa, acquired through descent from Robert Anderson, acquired prior to 2000; ex-Cheryl M. Carpenter collection, New River, Arizona, USA; ex-Donald A. Stull estate, Bodega, California, USA, October 1989

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
