Michoacan Sculpture of a Seated Woman - PF.0951,Origin: Michoacan, Mexico,Circa: 300 BC to 300 AD,Dimensions: 13" (33.0cm) high x 8" (20.3cm) wide,Catalogue: V2,Collection: Pre-Columbian,Style: Michoacan,Medium: Terracotta. With her bold lines and abstract geometry, this rare figure bears a strong resemblance to the Zacatecas style, for which pieces like this may have provided an artistic precedent. Enthroned in elegant majesty, like a Queen or Goddess acknowledging her subjects, she seems not at all surprised by the homage we pay to her regal charms.
