Description
**Originally Listed At $100**
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. An adorable, hand-built pottery gingerbread-type figure with a sturdy, corpulent composition. Her attenuated legs lead upwards to delineated female genitalia, a wide chest, conical arms, rounded shoulders, and a thick neck. Her elongated, triangular head lacks most facial features save for a prominent nose, perforated ears, and a simple headband. The ear perforations extend to the back of the head, suggesting this may have been suspended and worn as a pendant. Size: 3.8" H (9.7 cm).
Provenance: private Tacoma, Washington, USA collection
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
