Description
**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A charming pottery figure of a warrior, caught in the act of drawing back his sling, his body twisted so that his feet face forward and his head turns to look at his quarry. He wears a belt, loincloth, and elaborate helmet. The figure is a whistle, and would once have had a mouthpiece projecting from his back. Size: 2.45" W x 4.5" H (6.2 cm x 11.4 cm)

Provenance: private Massachusetts, USA collection of Kahlil and Jean Gibran. Kahlil Gibran (1922-2008, also known as Kahlil George Gibran) was a successful mid-20th century Magic Realist painter and sculptor.
