Truly rare and showing a medical oddity! Ancient bi-chrome vessel from Colima, West Mexico, circa 200 BC/200 AD. Redware pottery figural in the form of a human with severe medical abnormalities; head painted red and showing signs of possible retardation, body with arms and legs going off in basically the wrong directions, very distended stomach, spout emerging from back. He appears to be a "hunch-back" with one of his arms growing out of his chest. Each hand has three "claw-like" fingers. The left leg appears to end in a stub with no foot. The piece is spouted similar to most Colima dogs and with a very nice "burnished" finish. 7"H x 7"W x 7-1/2"D, completely intact with no restoration. It is quite an unusual effigy.
