Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A hand-built terracotta gable roofed house supported by four struts / feet, adorned in red slip with nice remains of black negative resist details, open in the front and back, with two sheepface figures - a couple perhaps - sitting inside the house, the male with his hands on his knees, the female with one hand over her abdomen and the other holding a vessel - with food fit for a feast and possibly a fire set between them. They are accompanied by dogs and birds (possibly chickens) positioned at the corners of the platform, and a puppy is sprawled over the peak of the rooftop. A wonderful example from this shaft tomb culture! Size: 4.875" W x 6.5" H (12.4 cm x 16.5 cm)

Provenance: private Stagecoach, Nevada, USA collection; acquired from 1985 to present from galleries such as Arte Primitivo, Art For Eternity, Butterfields, and Riverbend Gallery
