Description
Pre-Columbian, Western Mexico, Michoacan, ca. 500 to 100 BCE. A hand built terracotta female "Pretty Lady" figure, standing with arms extended outward, extensively decorated with large round earspools, a grand pectoral or collar with delineated beads and danglers, intricately incised armbands, and a caplike headdress over her long coiffure. Her belly protrudes slightly, perhaps indicating her fertile state, and she presents an expressive visage with diamond-shaped incised eyes. A very attractive example. Size: 4" H (10.2 cm); 4.375" H (11.1 cm) on included custom stand.
