SEATED SHAMAN FIGURAL JAR, JALISCO, W. MEXICO
The late Lynn Langdon found this seated shaman figural jar (LLL708) in west Mexico in the mid-20th century. Measuring 10” in height, an x-ray of the figure shows that the head area has been repaired and there has been some minor restoration. About 30% of the slip is missing from the surface. The jar is quite heavy, due to packed mud still contained in its body. The horned and bearded figure sits holding an unknown elongated object between his two hands (possibly a flute or whistle). The jar comes with a small display card, a brief write-up about Langdon, a map of Mexico on which the Jalisco area is highlighted, the x-ray of the figure, and a certificate guaranteeing authenticity.
