Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Guanajuato Valley, Chupicuaro, ca. 300 to 100 BCE. A fabulous Chupicuaro standing female figure with a strikingly flat, abstract form and an attractive bi-chrome finish. The ancient figure is skillfully painted in hues of red and cream under a lustrous burnish, with two lovely vertical stripes and an incised striation adorning her headdress or coiffure. Gazing upon us from almond-shaped, double-pierced eyes, her characteristically oversized head displays an incised smile, a pointed nose with delineated nostrils, and ears perforated for the suspension of ornaments. She stands upon a pair of straight legs with her attenuated arms to her sides, framing her wide hips. Size: 2.625" W x 4.625" H (6.7 cm x 11.7 cm); 5.125" H (13 cm) on included custom stand.
