Olmecoid Sculpture of a Standing Woman - PF.0391, Origin: Guerrero, Mexico, Circa: 900 BC to 300 BC, Dimensions: 10.75" (27.3cm) high x 5" (12.7cm) wide, Catalogue: V2, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Olmecoid, Medium: Terracotta. There is a primitive power about this figure, something unrefined, almost bestial, and yet mesmerizing. It is her face that holds our attention with its narrowed eyes and scowling mouth. Is it the face of grief, or pain, or anger? It is such a strongly emotional look that we catch our breath expecting further reaction, anticipating something which will never happen. « Less

Tlatilco Sculpture of a Woman - PF.0392, Origin: Central Mexico, Circa: 1200 BC to 900 BC, Dimensions: 3.75" (9.5cm) high x 2.25" (5.7cm) wide, Catalogue: V2, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Tlatilco, Medium: Terracotta. This little woman, with her exaggerated belly and hips, bears a striking resemblance to neolithic astarte fertility figures from the Near East. Her function is very likely the same too--she evokes the goddess, the giver of life. Yet there is something warmly human about this piece, with her relaxed pose and carefully combed-out hair. There is no question that the people who created her thought of her as beautiful. « Less

This plump little figure with his shock of orange hair leans forward to grab at something that has caught his attention and almost loses his balance. He seems to be reaching for the entire world. « Less

This voluptuous Mesoamerican Venus, holds her arms out from her sides and takes a tentative step forward, as if walking on a tightrope.

Olmecoid Sculpture of a Man Holding Two Serpents - PF.0451, Origin: Xochipala, Mexico, Circa: 1200 BC to 900 BC, Dimensions: 7.625" (19.4cm) high x 3" (7.6cm) wide, Catalogue: V2, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Olmecoid, In almost every ancient culture, the serpent is a powerful symbol. One thinks of Cretan goddesses with snakes entwined on their outstretched arms, the cobra on the crown of Egypt, or the happenings in the Garden of Eden. Clearly, there is similar potent magic at work in this figure. The sinuous reptiles this awestruck individual holds tell us that we are no longer in the ordinary world but in a realm of spirits, ritual and mystery.Medium: Terracotta. « Less

This woman, with cinnabar-stained lips and wearing a belt and headgear is a participant in the ritual ballgame. That ceremonial sport, played with a heavy rubber ball, required an incredible amount of stamina and skill. It is easy to believe, looking at this figure, that she plays to win. She stands, athletic and trim, as if shouting encouragement to her teammates at the other end of the court. « Less

In this charming vignette, a sinuous beauty admires her reflection in a round mirror. The same scene, virtually unchanged over time, could be viewed anywhere in the world today. The artist has shown a moment we all recognize in ourselves--the critical assessment, the final, satisfied approval--and has perfectly epitomized the universal emotion of vanity. « Less
