| This 7 5/8” tall, very flat figure (RFM45) is attributed to the Protoclassic Nayarit of West Mexico, c.100BC-250AD. A striking figure that has been poorly glued together, it still carries traces of red, white, and pinkish pigment. The corners of its head are slightly chipped, the right arm has been glued on, and the nose has suffered some slight damage. An excellent candidate for minor restoration to bring it back to its original grandeur, one this thin and fragile rarely survives as well. From the local collection of one of the founders of the now defunct Rocky Mountain Institute of Pre-Columbian Studies, the figure comes with a small display card, a map of west Mexico highlighting the Nayarit area, and our certificate guaranteeing authenticity. Don’t forget to watch for the additional pieces that will soon be listed under the prefix RFM from this interesting and newly consigned collection.
