From the Totonaca culture (state of Veracruz).
Modern Pre Columbian style large sculpture edition 1/30, artist signed.
Made approximately between 1982/83. The artist started making giant size copies of archaeological pieces, this sculpture is from the Totonaca culture (state of Veracruz).

Walter Bastianetto is an Italian born sculptor who moved to Mexico in the 1970s and resided there. Well-known artist for his original clay, terracotta and bronze sculptures inspired by Mexico's Pre Columbian life, mythology, and religion.
Walter Bastianetto, was born in Venice Italy. He graduated from the Ca' Foscari University of Architecture in Venice. He participated in various art and sculpture workshops in his native country and in Mexico.
He has exhibited his sculptural work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe, USA, and Mexico. He undertook his first trip to Mexico in 1970. The ancient cultures of this country captivate his spirit to such a degree that he decides to fully immerse himself in its cosmogony, dazzled mainly by the Aztec and Mayan culture. His work is lost in the labyrinth of life, mythology and pre-Hispanic religion to capture the essence of his worldview and allows contemporary characters and stories trapped in terracotta, resin and bronze, come to life. It transports us to the life that the Aztecs, the Mayans and other groups had, it shows us their customs and traditions, it shows the type of clothing they had, the typical features on their faces, the love for nature and its animals, in short , is an artist who has investigated and has interpreted his feelings about this culture in his sculptures.
Artist Statement:
“As an artist I am simply a simplifier of the explanation of a myth of the past and I try to capture and interpret human nature with divine exaltations, I try to make the ancestral spirit and matter stop with the language of art.”

Nayarit Pottery Fertility Female Figure With Child
By Nayarit Culture
Located in Dallas, TX
Nayarit Fertility Female Figure With Child
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Nayarit,
Ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE.
A seated terracotta female figure from the shaft tomb tradition, shown cradling an infant over her right shoulder - likely a symbolic representation of fertility, maternity, and the continuity of life. This expressive red-slipped sculpture is boldly modeled with exaggerated limbs and stylized facial features, impressed eyes, a broad nose adorned with a septum piercing, and ear ornaments. Her elaborate coiffure is incised with vertical striations and rises into a high crest, pierced at the top with a vent hole connecting to the hollow interior. Manganese blooms across the surface attest to its long burial. Such figures were ritually interred in shaft tombs to accompany the dead, offering symbolic protection or ensuring rebirth in the afterlife.
Dimensions: 4 Inches Wide x 8.4 Inches Height (10.2 cm x 21.1 cm)
Condition: Presents beautifully with restorations to the head.
Provenance: Collection of Y. Kayvan, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired from a Los Angeles, California, USA gallery acquisition dates range from the late 1990s to 2005
