Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $500**

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. Two Jalisco bichrome pottery seated female figures, both wearing skirts, banded headdresses, round earspools, beaded necklaces, and armbands. Their bodies are traditionally depicted with perky breasts, wide torsos, and elongated heads. Each one also presents characteristic traits of so-called "sheepface" figures such as a large projecting nose and pointy ears. Both are covered in red slip with extensive white details. One figure holds a bowl before her abdomen and the other holds a two-part clapper like instrument - similar to a large castanet. A lovely pair from the West Mexican shaft tomb tradition that complement one another quite well. Size: larger figure measures 10.125" H (25.7 cm)

Provenance: private Stagecoach, Nevada, USA collection; acquired from 1985 to present from galleries such as Arte Primitivo, Art For Eternity, Butterfields, and Riverbend Gallery
