In the late Pre-Classic and early Classic periods, major cultures developed in western Mexico on the Pacific coast. Once mistakenly lumped into a group called the Tarascan, they are now referred to by the names of the modern Mexican states in which their respective sites are located, such as Colima, Jalisco, and Nayarit. No major architectural sites were constructed, and little stone sculpture was made, but some of the most accomplished Mesoamerican clay effigy pots and figurines were produced by these civilizations. This gorgeous Colima figure is no exception! Special attention has been paid to ear and head ornaments and shoulder decorations, suggesting a person of higher social status.
AGE: Late Pre-Classic to Early Classic, 300 B.C. to 300 A.D. CONDITION: Excellent. No breaks or repairs. Very vivid details and facial features. DIMENSIONS: Quite large at about 7" tall. |
