Description
**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Guerrero, Mezcala, ca. 400 to 100 BCE.

Attenuated limbs are positioned comfortably, arms resting atop legs, and an integral block-shaped chair is situated below the main body. The wide torso supports a smooth and globular head, with a thin bridged nose and eyes flush with the rest of the face. Size: 2.625" H (6.7 cm).

Provenance: ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, Illinois, USA, acquired prior to 1970
