- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A vivid and commanding figure from the ancient Jalisco tradition, this hand-modeled terracotta sculpture depicts a seated female with an arresting presence. Her body is broad and volumetric, posed in a kneeling posture with straight, downward-sloping arms held close to the sides. The torso is bare, with prominently modeled breasts, and a low-waisted skirt encircles her hips. The shoulders are richly textured with rows of stippled bosses, suggesting ceremonial scarification or ritualized body ornament. These raised elements enhance her formal symmetry while marking her as a figure of possible social or spiritual significance. The face is a tour de force of stylized expression: her eyes are dramatically wide, the lids sharply carved and the pupils deeply set. Her mouth stretches open to reveal a tightly clenched row of gritted teeth, capturing a moment of intense emotion - surprise, fear, or perhaps invocation. Size: 5" L x 10.5" W x 15" H (12.7 cm x 26.7 cm x 38.1 cm)
The head is topped with a tall flaring headdress, banded, crested, and knotted, and the ears are pierced through for ornaments.
