- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A wonderful and expressive pair of hand-built terracotta figures from this ancient shaft-tomb culture. First is a standing female figure with attenuated limbs, a slightly distended abdomen, bulbous breasts, a thick neck, and one arm holding a lid-covered bowl; she displays deep-red and creamy white embellishments atop a buff surface. Next is a seated male figure with bent legs, a portly belly, and sinuous arms holding a fluted fan or shaker instrument; he showcases solid areas of deep-red pigment as well as darkened areas of fire-clouding. The heads of both figures exhibit characteristic Jalisco "sheepface" qualities such as prominent noses, coffee-bean-shaped eyes, pointed ears with circular earspools, thin mouths, and tall foreheads with thin headbands. A lovely duo of ancient West Mexican figural artistry! Size of largest (standing): 5.375" H (13.7 cm).
Provenance: private Stagecoach, Nevada, USA collection; acquired from 1985 to present from galleries such as Arte Primitivo, Art For Eternity, Butterfields, and Riverbend Gallery
