Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, Ameca type, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A Jalisco seated warrior figure, holding a long striped club with both hands (and nicely modeled fingers) across his chest, wearing a traditional twin-horned helmet and striped barrel shaped armor (perhaps a form that inspiration for the term 'barrel chested'), and addressing the viewer with a serious, "I mean business" attitude. His determined visage is finely delineated with coffee-bean shaped eyes, an aquiline nose adorned with a nosering, angular ears with shell-shaped ornaments, and an open mouth as if speaking, singing, or chanting. He is also adorned with painted 'beaded' strands around his neck. A highly decorated, fierce personage from the ancients of West Mexico. Nice manganese deposits as well. Size: 3.125" W x 6.5" H (7.9 cm x 16.5 cm)
