Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Western Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A fine example of Colima pottery, simple yet elegant in style, rich in symbolic iconography, and boasting sublime technique! A beautiful redware vessel depicting a shaman wearing a classic shaman's horn on his forehead, with a finely delineated visage comprised of coffee bean shaped eyes, a protruding large nose, pronounced ears, and a jutting chin with a wide, incised, subtle smile. The shaman sits with upraised knees, holding his arms upward with both hands and incised fingers touching each side of his head. Notice that the arch of his back is quite pronounced with a wide spout emerging from it. This form suggests that he is a hunchback. In Pre-Columbian times, the deformities of hunchbacked figures were believed to be signs that these individuals were in fact special, chosen individuals who were touched by the supernatural. A wonderful example in superb condition, replete with generous manganese deposits and nice root marks. Size: 7.5" L x 6.75" W x 9.75" H (19 cm x 17.1 cm x 24.8 cm)
