West Coast, Ca. 100 B.C. - 250 A.D.

Hand-modelled, solid, flat figure of orange-buff pottery, of the Colima “gingerbread” type. The head is elongated, with a long, beaked nose, slit eyes, a small applied mouth, and large pierced disc ear ornaments. A tall headdress or coiffure of interlaced applied fillets rises over the head. She wears a multi-strand collar with a central pendant, a girdle or hip wrap made of applied strips with hanging tabs, and cuffs at the upper arms. The legs are marked with incised bands. Small applied pellet breasts. Probably made as a burial offering for a shaft tomb. Traces of white pigment survive, especially on the collar, girdle and leg bands, with scattered dark manganese spotting and light earthen deposits. Wear to the surface and small losses at the extremities.

Size: 6” Height + custom stand.

Provenance: Private Nevada collection, ex. Dr. David Harner collection, Arkansas, 1950’s - 1960’s. Collection #’s on back legs.
