Item Details

Description

100% of the Buyer's Premium of all lots sold in this auction will be donated to Community Food Share by Artemis Gallery. $1.00 = 3 meals!

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Valley of Mexico,Guerrero/Chontal, ca. 500 BCE. This funerary offering depicts a section of a female figure who has undergone a cesarean (or caesarean) procedure; note the central 'cut' or groove down her torso. While not overtly Olmecoid in physiognomy, this figure depicts a condition portrayed by the Olmec who were unabashed about depicting the graphic details of a wide range of experiences from women in labor to pathological conditions. Perhaps related to a fertility ritual, the sculptor aimed to focus our attention on the locii of fertility - the pronounced breasts and cesarean scar over the womb. A most unusual treasure, clearly created to serve a ritualistic and/or didactic function. Size: 6.7" W x 7.625" H (17 cm x 19.4 cm); 9.25" H (23.5 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex Walter Feldman collection, 1925-2017, who was Professor of Art at Brown University, and donated most of his Pre-Columbian collection to Brown’s Haffenrefer Museum
