Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Pre-Columbian, Colima, West Mexico, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A very large and early (Tico type) Colima pottery flat figure, sometimes called a 'gingerbread' figure after the beloved American "Gingerbread Boy" fairy tale character who famously taunted and escaped the jaws of a fox. Its abstract form boasts a characteristically pointy, elongated head and large protruding nose with a flat body, arms and legs extended out from his core in pantomime-like fashion. The figure is nicely adorned with appliqued ornaments, particularly the headdress and pectoral. The pierced ears originally held feathers or other perishable ornaments, now lost to time. An excellent example from the West Mexican shaft tomb tradition that playfully brings to mind those famous lines, "Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me. I'm the Gingerbread Man!" Size: 5.875" W x 8.5" H (14.9 cm x 21.6 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
