Colima Decapitator Shaman
A magnificent Colima figure from West Mexico, ca. 300 BC – 300 AD. This standing shaman is 16” tall, an absolutely spectacular depiction of a decapitator. He is portrayed holding a human trophy head in one hand and a ceremonial cutting tool made from a deer antler in the other. He is wearing a complex backrack, most likely indicative of his status and the importance of the depicted scene. Overall in excellent condition, with extensive dendrites covering the red slip and just minor professional restoration. A spectacular and important addition to any collection.
