Antique Pre-Columbian Jalisco Ameca-Ezatlá Terracotta Female Sculpture

The ceramic figure is exquisitely crafted and features a female standing with curvaceous proportions. She stands on arched feet with her arms stretched outward. Her broad shoulders and ample breasts give her a commanding presence. The sculpture is decorated with a necklace made of shell pendant and painted with white buff paint.
