Bidspirit auction | FIGURE WITH CHARACTER

FIGURE WITH CHARACTER - Terracotta figure, modeled kneeling, possibly female, holding a small character to her chest. Voluminous head with half-closed eyes in relief, prominent mouth and ears; indicated necklace and bracelets, superimposed hands, compact volumes and restrained gestures. Surface with whitish patina and traces of incrustations, small losses and localized wear. Due to the treatment of the face, the posture and the adornments, it may be close to the sculptural tradition of Western Mexico; this hypothesis cannot be confirmed by photographs alone.
