Ameca-Etzatlán Style, West Mexico, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BC–AD 250

Hollow, hand-built figure of buff pottery showing a seated woman with her legs folded beneath her and her hands raised to her shoulders. The head is elongated beneath a flat, rimmed cap. The face is long, with heavy-lidded, downcast eyes made of applied fillets, a long, straight aquiline nose and a small open mouth. Clusters of rings hang at each ear. She has a broad, rounded body with small modelled breasts and a swelling belly, perhaps showing pregnancy. A wrap-around skirt covers the lap. Traces of red pigment survive on the skirt and lower body.

Made to accompany an ancestor into the shaft tomb, perhaps representing a beloved clansman. Surface wear, light earthen deposits and pigment loss.

Size: 9 inches (22.9 cm) H. x 5.5 inches (14 cm) W. x 5.5 inches (14 cm) D.
