Rare Chupicuaro Pottery Seated Female Figure

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Western Mexico, Michoacan, Chupicuaro, ca. 3rd to 2nd century BCE. What an unusual example from the Chupicuaro! We are more accustomed to seeing flat 'pretty lady' figures, making this solid, full-bodied, hand-built pottery form relatively rare. The female figure sits with her arms wrapped around upraised knees, her long, slender fingers so elegantly defined. Her characteristically elongated head presents a globular upper section, perhaps indicative of the custom of headbinding with cloth to intentionally flatten and elongate the cranial region. Her face is nicely detailed with an expressive visage comprised of double eyes, a protruding aquiline nose, and open mouth. Beyond this, she is quite decorated with a fanciful coiffure comprised of incised appliques, two bands adorning each arm, a nosering, large round earspools, and a prominent pectoral. A special example with some remains of red pigment to boot. Size: 3.125" W x 5.125" H (7.9 cm x 13 cm)

Provenance: Ex - private LA County collection acquired before 1990
