Western Mexico, Tecoman and coastal area, Colima, ca. 200 BCE to 200 CE. The style of this unslipped buff figurine is typical of Tecoman and the coastal area. It blends the typical coffee-bean eyes and facial features with a plate-flat body and string arms. The Colima would have placed such a figure with his characteristic cap-shaped helmet, ear ornaments, ornamented breechcloth, pectoral, and armbands in a tomb either to protect or resemble the deceased. Size: 4.25" W x 7.75" H (10.8 cm x 19.7 cm)An excellent example from the West Mexican shaft tomb tradition. Ceramic figurines such as this are among the most expressive and dramatic created in Mesoamerica. According to scholars of this tradition, such ceramic figures were the primary outlet for artistic expression for the shaft tomb cultures and there is little record of monumental architecture, stelae, or public art associated with these cultures. Nice mineral deposits and root marks. Provenance: Ex-Private Arizona collection Condition: Right arm reattached. Upper section of head reattached. Nice manganese deposits and root marks.
