| This 9 ½” tall, hollow ceramic polychrome figurine depicts a seated male with bulging eyes puffing vigorously on what appears to be a cigar (RFM44). Attributed to the Nayarit of West Mexico, and in the Ixtlan del Rio style, the Protoclassic figure dates c.100BC-250AD. Wearing a woven cap and ear ornaments, the figure is in overall good condition with some repair to its left hip and buttock, moderate pigment loss, and has an oval scar on its back belt where something has been lost. From the local collection of one of the founders of the disbanded Rocky Mountain Institute of Pre-Columbian Studies here in Denver, the figure comes with a small display card, a map of Mexico highlighting the Nayarit area, and our certificate guaranteeing authenticity. Don’t forget to watch for the additional pieces that will soon be listed under the prefix RFM from this interesting and newly consigned collection.
