- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, Ameca type, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A proud Jalisco bichrome standing warrior figure delineated in red and cream slip, holding an intimidating staff-shaped club with both hands (and nicely modeled fingers) across his chest, wearing a traditional crested helmet and barrel-shaped armor (perhaps a form that inspired the term 'barrel chested') with a bold silhouette and impressed 'stitches' adorning the tail end, and addressing the viewer with a no-nonsense, "take no prisoners" attitude. His determined visage is finely delineated with coffee bean-shaped eyes, a pronounced straight aquiline nose, closed lips, angular ears with decorative ornaments, and a sharp jawline. A wonderfully fierce personage from the ancients of West Mexico. Nice manganese deposits as well. Size: 12" H (30.5 cm)
