West Mexico, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BC–AD 250

Hollow, hand-built pottery figure of a woman seated with her legs drawn under, her upper body, arms and face are covered in burnished red slip, and the lower body and legs are in cream slip, showing a wrap-around skirt. Her head is broad and squared with a close-fitting cap. The face has applied almond eyes with incised pupils, a prominent nose, a full, downturned mouth and projecting ears. The shoulders are broad and the small breasts modeled. Both arms bend inward, with the hands resting on the abdomen, a gesture that may indicate pregnancy or fertility.

Constructed as an offering for a shaft tomb, representing an ancestor veneration.

Size: 10 inches (25.4 cm) H. x 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) W. x 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) D.
