Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, Ixtlan del Rio, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. Terracotta shaft tomb female figure in red and cream finish with characteristically elongated head, prominent nose, wide torso, and attenuated limbs. In addition to the beautiful painted hues, not to mention the detailing which is a signature of the Ixtlan del Rio stylings, the figure is adorned with a large nose ring, round bichrome ear ornaments, and a skirt. We just love her standing pose, so alert and poised for whatever the moment will bring! Size: 4"W (10.16 cm) x 6"H (15.24 cm).
