- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A charming, hand-built pottery warrior figure standing behind a massive convex shield decorated with faded black-painted linear motifs. The figure is oriented sideways behind the shield in a defensive pose, his nose and eyes barely peeking over the top to see the approaching enemy, with his right hand raised and holding the handle of a missing club. A low-brimmed helmet sits atop the head and has a striated head wrap encircling the top and a lateral, tab-shaped protrusion on one side. The perforated lateral tab indicates this figure was also used as an ocarina, however it emits no sound when played. An expressive example of ancient shaft-tomb pottery! Size: 3.1" W x 4.375" H (7.9 cm x 11.1 cm).
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private lifetime collection of Dr. Saul Tuttman and Dr. Gregory Siskind, New York, New York, USA
