Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Valdivian, ca. 3500 to 1500 BCE. An elegant standing terracotta "Venus" figure, mold-made and finely detailed with an expressive visage comprised of delicately incised features, framed by a long, striated coiffure that falls past her shoulders, and interestingly, is shaved to reveal her head above a fringe of bangs. She is depicted nude with pronounced breasts which are underscored by her arms beneath, quite fitting as scholars believe that these female figures probably were fertility idols. A strong example, still showing generous remains of red pigment on the surface, representing the first Venus Idols of the Americas! Custom stand. Size: 5.375" H (13.7 cm); 5.75" H (14.6 cm) on stand.

Provenance: Ex-Private Ventura County, CA collection acquired before 1980
