- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Guerrero region, Mezcala, ca. 500 to 100 BCE. A remarkable anthropomorphic figure carved from creamy beige stone with light striations of peach, caramel, and chocolate brown. The abstract figure exhibits deep clefts delineating the legs, straight arms in relief that lay parallel to the smooth chest, a tiered waist (perhaps representing a belt and skirt), and angular shoulders. Indented striations featured at the end of the legs define the figure's feet. Atop the narrow neck rests an oversized head bearing slender eyes, a straight mouth flanked by nasolabial folds that extend to form a triangular nose, and a pronounced brow. Two sizable ears detailed with slight divots at their mid-sections are featured on either side of the minimalistic visage. Ancient Mezcala artisans were adept at reducing the human form down to minimal, elegant shapes via the meticulous string-cut technique, and this sizable statue exemplifies their penchant for beauty in simplicity. Size: 3" W x 6.25" H (7.6 cm x 15.9 cm); 7" H (17.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collector, acquired in 1966
