H 4.75″ x W 3.25″ x D 3.5″ (12.1cm x 8.3cm x 8.8cm)
Your knowledge and experienced eyes are sought to identify this wonderfully flowing sculpture of clay depicting a mother and child. What people, what culture, where and when?
The humanity, charming personality, and sculptural flow reminded the purchaser (from an estate) of the solid clay figurines of Colima, West Coast Mexico, 200 BC – AD 250. BUT more research and your thoughts are needed, especially from those familiar with ancient SE Asian ceramic figurines, perhaps regarding: Thai, Sukothai, the Si Satchanalai Kilns (14th-16th Centuries) and our unconditional, no-argument, money-back guarantee & return privileges.
Provenance: estate of a 1960s-2000s collector of diverse worldwide artworks.
