Choice Colima Pottery Flat w/ Metate

Of the hundreds of Colima flats we have encountered over the years, this is one of the finest and most unusual of the group! From ancient West Mexico, ca 200 BC to 200 AD, solid pottery flat figure of a female going about her daily chore of grinding maze using a stone metate. Nicely-decorated figure with headdress, necklace and skirt, sitting on her knees, holding the mano in her hands as she roles it over the surface of the two-legged metate. Intact and choice - rare with a figure of such detail, and measuring 6-3/4"H x 8-1/2"L x 4-5/8"W.

PROVENANCE: Ex-private Denver, CO Collection.
