Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Guanajuato River Valley, Chupicuaro, ca. 300 to 100 BCE. A fabulous Chupicuaro standing female figure with an abstract form and attractive polychrome finish, her hollow form skillfully painted in hues of red, brown-black, and cream, with a lovely step pattern across her chest, and a series of striations across her hips. She gazes upon us with her oversized head, the visage detailed with incised eyes, mouth, earspools, prominent nose, and a neatly parted coiffure. She stands upon a pair of rather diminutive legs, with her attenuated looped arms to her sides, framing her wide hips and protruding perhaps pregnant belly, nubbin breasts positioned characteristically high and far apart, just beside her underarms, her navel indicated by a simple pierce to the clay. A truly exceptional example! Custom, museum-quality stand. Size: figure itself measures 4.25" W x 6.125" H (10.8 cm x 15.6 cm); 6.25" (15.9 cm) H with stand.
