Description:

From the ancient Jalisco region of Mexico, ca. 100 - 250 CE. Depicts a female with stylized body features, shown wearing arm bands, nose ornamentation, and a necklace with large circular pendant. Plump, thighs and large breasts are likely indicative of, and symbolic for, fertility in general. Remnants of the original white/cream slip remain visible overall. Measures just under 9"H x 6 1/4"W. Provenance: Former CA, USA Doctor's private collection. All items in this auction have been legally acquired, are legal to sell, and guaranteed to be as described or your money back. The starting price is the lowest price at which the lot can sell.

  • Condition: Repair to a clean break on the head across the eyes (where the head was modeled and stylized very thinly). Reglued with minor fill, break lines remaining visible. Otherwise, weathering, wear, chipping, abrasions and minor loss. Wear to most of the original white/cream slip. Mineral deposits and sediment encrustations remain as evidence of the age and authenticity of this example.
