Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A standing pregnant woman in the classic Jalisco stylized form, with a long, aquiline nose, high, wide breasts, and short arms and legs. Cream details give her a belt and necklace, while applied pottery gives her a headdress and bracelets. Size: 5.7" W x 8.3" H (14.5 cm x 21.1 cm)
