4 Colima Earthenware Animalistic Sculptures of Pre-Columbian Form

Four very finely made copies of Colima pre-Columbian earthenware sculptures, and well-fired. The first is a tan dog, sitting on her hind quarters, with a short curled tail, looking slightly upward with her mouth open. It is a direct copy of a well-known piece that is currently in a museum. Size: 9 1/2 inches tall. A statue of a musician, seated, wearing a conical hat, playing an instrument that resembles an ocarina. He is well fired, with a reddish color and a speckled finish. Size: 10 3/4 inches. Ewer in the form of a dog with a vase-like opening in its back, and visible ridges along its spine. The dog's head is turned backward and its tail is raised. It is ocher colored with a speckled finish. Size: 9 1/2 inches tall. Pitcher in the form of a stylized duck, with squared off bill, and webbed feet and short squared off wings. Size: 10 1/2 inches. All four items are extremely well made, and are direct copies of known museum pieces.

Condition:

Very good plus. They are made as copies of relatively ancient, excavated items. They are all of better quality than usually seen.
