- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. An expressive pottery representation of the humblest member of Pre-Columbian societies, the cargador or burden bearer who carries wares on his or her back. Hunching forward under the weight of their load, the figure raises both arms to his head grasping the strap that supports the large vessel. He gazes forward with wide eyes and gritted teeth as though in distress, while standing atop substantive legs and feet. The piriform jar strapped to his back may have been intended to hold a liquid or be used as an urn. Cargadors have always been upheld as honorable contributors in Pre-Columbian societies, so much so that by the early 20th century, so-called peons would be romanticized by Mexican Modernists who introduced the concept of indigenismo, a philosophy that honored the native cultures of their land. Size: 9" L x 6.9" W x 11" H (22.9 cm x 17.5 cm x 27.9 cm)
Cf. Minneapolis Institute of Art, 79.15.1.
