Pre-Columbian Civilizations Of West Mexico, Jalisco, Circa 300 BCE To 300 AD. A Jalisco Pottery Standing Nude Female Figure Presents A Striking Study In Its Form, Representational Symbolism, And Regional Sculptural Convention For This Particular Pre-Hispanic Item.
Modeled Upright With Prominent Breasts, Elongated Head, And Simplified Limbs, The Body Composed According To The Distinctive Hieratic Proportions Favored In Jalisco Shaft Tomb Ceramics. This Ceramic Human Representation Commands Attention Through Surface Detail And Color: Her Shoulders Are Marked With Stippled Pellets, Widely Interpreted As Signs Of Status Or Ceremonial Scarification, While Her Torso And Legs Retain Painted Red And Buff Geometric Patterns. These Painted Motifs May Reference Body Paint, Textiles, Or Ritual Adornment, Transforming The Figure Into An Image Of Ceremonial Presence Rather Than Naturalistic Portraiture. Her Elongated Head And Columnar Neck Are Crowned With A Tall Coiffure Or Headdress, Reinforcing Her Elevated Role Within The Symbolic Language Of The Ethnic Group And Comuna. Such Figures Were Typically Placed In Jalisco Shaft Tombs As Part Of Assemblages That May Have Represented Ancestors, Ritual Participants, Or Idealized Embodiments Of Fertility And Lineage.

Dimensions, Height Around 7.5 Inches. All measurements are approximate.
Provenance: Private NYC. Ex-Private Colorado, USA Collection; Largest; Ex-Private Los Angeles, California, USA Collection; Ex-Major Gallery On Beverly Hills, California, USA, Primarily Acquired Between 1985 And 2005.
