Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, Ixtlan del Rio, ca 300 BCE to 300 CE. A hand-built bichrome terracotta figure depicting a seated female with a characteristically wide body holding a pottery cylinder upon her right shoulder, all in red slip with white decoration. She is elaborately adorned with a headband decorated with wavy-lines, elaborate multiple ear ornaments, a nose ring, multi-strand 'beaded' pectoral, and striped/dotted skirt, and presents an expressive visage with wide-open eyes, a curved protruding nose, and a smiling grin. The sculptor made a point of emphasizing her pointy breasts, a sign of female fertility. The level of detail is impressive, i.e. the textile-inspired motifs on her headband and skirt - all done in a style distinct to the Ixtlan del Rio variety of Nayarit figures. A very lively figure created by the ancients of West Mexico. Size: 6.25" W x 8.25" H (15.9 cm x 21 cm)
