Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Valdivia, ca The hallmark of Valdivia pottery is the feminine ceramic figurine known as the "Venus" of Valdivia. These "Venuses" of Valdivia likely represented actual people, as each figurine is individual and unique, as can be seen by their hairstyles. This example shows an expressive visage with open eyes and raised eyebrows, an incised coiffure of long flowing locks, and a glimpse of her bust. Mounted on custom stand. 1.63"W x 1.25"H (4.13 W x 3.18 H cm)

Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
