- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $800**
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit, Ameca style, Preclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hollow-built pottery figure depicting a seated male warrior with large, tab-shaped feet, bent legs, and delineated genitalia. The figure leans forward with a bent posture, his back arching rather dramatically, with lengthy arms with delineated fingers and nails, and a small sling wrapped around his upper torso. His head displays a countenance defined by raised, almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, rounded cheeks and brow line, cupped ears, and full lips, all beneath a corded warrior's helmet. A small bulb inside the figure's mouth represents a death bubble which symbolizes the deceased state of the warrior. Covered in a cream-hued slip, this is a wonderful example of ancient figural shaft-tomb pottery! Size: 9" W x 12" H (22.9 cm x 30.5 cm).
Provenance: private Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA collection; ex-Fort Knox Artifacts, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA; ex-private Los Angeles, California, USA collection
