Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A sizeable hand-built terracotta figure seated upon crossed legs, with a flat back and a wide torso, all colored in a deep-red-orange hue. A cylindrical drum is placed at his feet and has a flat top, typically made from stretched animal hide, two circular tone holes, and white-painted linear and dot motifs. Two long arms stretch to hit the planar drum head; what is unusual is how each hand has six, rather than five, stylized fingers. His head showcases a prominent nose, pointed ears with circular earspools, a petite mouth, and a tall forehead with a curved and banded headdress, all characteristic of Jalisco "sheepface" figures. Details like a triangular chest covering, beaded necklace, and eye pupils are all painted in a creamy white pigment, making this figure an attractive demonstation of shaft-tomb pottery proficiency! Size: 8.5" H (21.6 cm).
