Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Pacific Coast dated as circa 300 BCE to 300 CE (AD). A compelling West Mexican terracotta figure. This nicely crafted figure comes from Colima, a region known for its warm, iron-rich clay and its lively, rounded modeling. Exhibiting the classic Colima taste for compact, expressive bodies with broad hips, defined arms, and carefully detailed faces. Part of the stylistic details of the area include applied ear ornaments, crossed arms or hands held closely at the torso. The original pigment is reduced to traces of red slip still clinging to the surface. Colima figures often embodied ancestors, attendants, or individuals of social importance, placed in tombs to accompany and protect the deceased.
