Mexico, Jalisco
600–900 AD
Ceramic with painted decoration
Provenance: Maurice Yanez Collection, Pasadena, California; Asuna Gallery, Santa Barbara, California
This pair is modeled with the elongated neck, projecting nose, and compact seated posture characteristic of later Jalisco production, with red over cream slip and black resist painted details preserved across both figures. The headdresses, body proportions, and surface treatment are consistent between the two, indicating they were produced together as a matched set. .Intact couples with matching surface treatment and compatible scale are less common than single figures in the surviving record. The Pasadena and Santa Barbara provenance gives the pair a clear two-owner California collecting history.
