El Arenal Brown Style Jalisco Terracotta Sculpture of a Standing Woman - PF.0557 Origin: Western Mexico Circa: 300

AD Dimensions:15.125" (38.4cm) high x 10.5" (26.7cm) wide Collection: Pre Columbian Style: El Arenal Brown Medium: Terracotta
Wearing a pair of painted shorts and a wide
collar necklace, this red-skinned woman was
perhaps the height of fashion in her time.
Unusual for the amount of polychromy still
remaining, she seems determined to evoke the
past as a brightly colored place, not merely a
pale memory.
