This impressive polychrome figure (RFM43) is of the West Mexican Nayarit San Sebastian style dating 100BC-250AD. Representing a seated warrior holding a club in both hands, head turned to the right, wearing a bell-shaped and crested hat, a multi-stranded necklace, and what is probably meant to represent a protective vest, the 9 ¼” tall hollow figure is in overall very good condition without any noted repair or restoration, but has suffered moderate pigment loss.

The twelve smaller stone penates in this group (THE.F51.5, 21, 24, 26, 30-32, 35. 38, 44, 47 and 48) were collected by the late Chester Howard in the area of Mitla in the mid-20th century. All are assigned to the Mixtec group and dated c.1100-1500AD and were hand carved from a relatively soft stone believed to be anhydrite. The suspension hole on each of the penates has worn through. Ranging in condition from fairly good to excellent, they all could easily be adapted for contemporary wear. Note ...click for details
