West Mexico, Nayarit, a pair of fine ceramic figur

Sign In to see what this sold for

West Mexico, Nayarit, c. 250 BC – 250 AD. A pair of figurines, the smaller, seated and with traces of pigment, has a cape over his right shoulder. small chips on the left foot and the tip of the nose do not subtract from its charm. The second, larger item is standing on four "legs", hands on hips with a lot of crème and brown-black decoration over its face and entire body. Couple repairs to the back "feet", and some losses to the left side of the head. A piece worthy of restoration--a "sleeper"!! H: 4 1/3” & 6 ½”.
