A fine San Juanito type female from the Cuisillos area of Jalisco, West Mexico, ca. 100 BC - 250 AD. She is 11" high, posed seated, with arms raised in the characteristic position communicating her plea to the gods of fertility in an effort to ward off menstruation, so that she may conceive. She is adorned with the characteristic appliqué shoulder scarification pellets, multiple ear ornaments and bracelets. Nice red, yellow and black paint, as well as good deposits on the cream slip. In superb condition. See Leyenaar's "Von Kuste Zu Kuste", page 281, for similar. |
