Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 200 BCE to 200 CE. A skillfully modeled bichrome pottery kneeling female posed with her right hand behind her ear and her left hand extended outward, as if engaged in a ceremonial dance or chant. Possessing a characteristically elongated head, she presents an expressive visage comprised of coffee-bean shaped eyes, a long, protruding nose, open toothy mouth, and applied ears. She wears a red turban and a white skirt, but her breasts and slightly protruding (perhaps pregnant) belly are revealed. A wonderful example with nice manganese deposits. Size: 4.625" W x 6.5" H (11.7 cm x 16.5 cm)

Provenance: Ex Scollard collection, LA, California
