Alla auktioner / Diverse / Sculpture, Pre-Columbiaanse reproductie - 0 cm - Terracotta, Clay - 1960
Meet the fascinating Pre-Columbian culture of West Mexico through these two handmade expressive reproductions, inspired by the ceremonial visual language of the Nayarit and Ixtlán del Río traditions. This special vintage set consists of two sculptures; object 1 depicts a ceremonial anthropomorphic figure with a large zoolomorphic headpiece. Such figures are known from Nayarit art, where striking headpieces, ear ornaments, and rich ornamentation presumably related to status, ritual, and religious functions. The second object shows an anthropomorphic head with an extensive ceremonial headdress and large ear ornaments. The richly incised decoration runs across the front and back and aligns with the iconography of West Mexican Pre-Columbian art. Original Nayarit figures are among those known from the famous shaft tomb tradition of West Mexico and are today housed in major museum collections. In Mexico, later reproductions were produced of such historical examples for educational, decorative, and museum purposes. These two items are unsigned. There is no INAH stamp, workshop mark, or exact catalog number identified. What is certain is that they come from Mexico. Specifications: Material: terracotta / fired earthenware. Provenance: Mexico / private collection. Style: Nayarit / Ixtlán del Río, West Mexico. Dating of reproductions: presumably ca. 1960–1990. Maker/workshop: anonymous Mexican workshop. Marking: none. Standing figure: height: ca. 26 cm; 853 g. Head: height ca. 19, width 18 cm; 1030 g. Total weight: ca. 1883 g. Color: warm terracotta, reddish-brown, and natural earth tones. Condition: Both sculptures are in excellent vintage condition. There are some natural color variations and light signs of aging visible. These contribute to the weathered, archaeological-inspired character of the objects. Please examine the photos carefully; they form an important part of the condition description. Interior/display: With their powerful silhouettes and earthy color palette, these sculptures are striking focal points in an eclectic, ethnographic, brutalist, Japandi, or contemporary interior. They particularly come to life together on a dark plinth, console, or in a display cabinet, but can also be presented separately. Shipping: The two objects are shipped separately and very carefully packaged, with extra protection around the protruding and delicate parts. Shipping takes place within 3 business days after payment, with tracking.'} }
