Tall Veracruz Standing Figure Female Sonriente

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Gulf coast of Mexico, Veracruz, Remojadas, ca. 600 to 800 CE. A large pottery effigy sonriente figure, a name that literally means "smiling face," in an animated posture, with both hands raised and elaborately dressed in an embroidered skirt, beaded necklace, earrings, and a large headdress with a bird spearing a fish on the front. Smiling faces are very rare in Mesoamerican art, but in Remojadas and the surrounding area, these Sonrientes were apparently popular, leading to a mystery for archaeologists. Some have suggested that the smiles are the result of consuming the alcoholic beverage pulque or taking hallucinogenic drugs; others see them as representing performers. Size: 14" W x 17" H (35.6 cm x 43.2 cm)

Provenance: private San Clemente, California, USA collection; ex-California Gallery, before 2010
