Colima Pihuamo Pottery Standing Male + Female

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Pihuamo Style, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A pair of hollow pottery figures, one male - one female, both standing with legs spread apart and hands on hips, the male of lustrous redware, the pregnant female boasting a bichrome red and cream finish with a striped skirt. Our gentleman is particularly intriguing and dare I say amusing. Notice the firing hole at the back of the head as well as a hole at the tip of his penis. Just pour water through and watch him pee! An ancient, male version of Betsy Wetsy! Size: female 8.75" H (22.2 cm)

Colima figures are prized for their amazing polish and elegance! Time and the elements have also added to the adornment of these figures. Look closely and you will see some black, almost floral-patterned manganese blooms on the surfaces, particularly on the male figure!

Provenance: Ex-private M. Schiowitz, Geneva, Switzerland and New York collection, acquired in 1960's while living in Switzerland and then by descent to present owner.
