Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. This is a pair of hollow pottery rotund figures that would have been interred alongside the bodies of the deceased in the West Mexican shaft tomb cultural tradition. Both appear to be pregnant women, with wide-set breasts and a distended belly. Their arms are out as if their hands are on their hips; these form handles on the sides of the figures. They make a nice matching pair! Size: 7-1/2" H x 5" W x 4" L (19 cm x 13 cm x 10 cm).

Provenance: Ex-private Hooper collection, CA, acquired via family descent.

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.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.
