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