Colima Ceramic Female Figure, Based

Figure hugging itself, with a face reduced to one little nose.

This terra cotta female figure on a base from the Colima people is Colima, from West Mexico, Mexico. The Colima culture of West Mexico is known for hollow ceramic figures, including people and animals, many of them placed in shaft tombs. Smooth, tan figure with folded arms across the chest, a tall head wrapped with a coil and a pinched, projecting nose. Legs taper to a point below. Soft matte surface with light wear, on a black stand. It is 3 inches wide, 2 deep and 6 high.

Modest, matte and entirely unbothered by the fuss.
