Large Jalisco Pottery Seated Nude Female Figure
Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hand-built and highly burnished pottery figure of a semi-nude woman seated with legs tucked beneath a skirt. The beige-hued figure holds her right arm out in a gesture of welcoming while holding a petite olla in her left hand; her slight forward lean suggests she is telling a story. Almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, expressive lips, and cupped ears create the feminine countenance, all beneath a simple cap that rests low on the forehead. Size: 8" L x 11.5" W x 16.3" H (20.3 cm x 29.2 cm x 41.4 cm)

Provenance: Private Reinsmoen collection, Clear Lake, Iowa, acquired through descent from Robert Anderson, acquired prior to 2000
