Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A bichrome female shaft tomb figure striking a classic seated pose with her left leg folded beneath her right, holding a bowl in her right hand and placing her left hand over her abdominal region. The figure presents a characteristically enlarged head with an expressive visage comprised of coffee bean shaped eyes, a protruding nose, and smiling lips. Though topless with exposed breasts, she does wear a skirt and her shoulders are adorned with applied pellets. In addition, she is bedecked with ear ornaments, a nose ring, and a painted multi-strand beaded necklace. All is painted in a lush red slipped finish with white details. The piece has aged gracefully, and there are nice manganese deposits and root marks on the surface. Size: 5.5" W x 8.75" H (14 cm x 22.2 cm)
