Nayarit Stone Sculpture of a Seated Figure - PF.2241 Origin: Western Mexico Circa: 300
BC
to 300
AD Dimensions:6.75" (17.1cm) high Collection: Pre-Columbian Style: Nayarit Medium: Stone
The lines of this ancient sculpture are so
elegantly simple as to lend it a modern
sensibility. The artist has captured the human
form with abstract energy. More than just a
pose, the sculpture conveys a mood of deep
contemplation. The sitter seems lost in thought.
Unaware of the way the world has changed
around him with the centuries. Which of us has
not felt this way, lost in our own reveries? We
recognize how much we have in common with
the people who created this splendid work. It is
timeless in its appeal.
