Ameca-Ezatlán Style Jalisco Terracotta Sculpture of a Seated Man - PF.0960, Origin: Jalisco, Mexico, Circa: 300 BC to 300 AD, Dimensions: 16.25" (41.3cm) high x 12" (30.5cm) wide, Catalogue: V4, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Ameca-Ezatlán, Medium: Terracotta. This magnificent dark-red figure, with pierced ears and nose for jewelry now vanished, appears engrossed in telling a tale. Was he a Mesoamerican Homer, a bard, the spinner of epic stories of heroic adventure and fantastic exploits? If we listen carefully, we can almost hear the timeless legends which enthralled his listeners all those centuries ago.
