Gray and Patsy R. Taylor, Greenwich, acquired from the above by 1971

The reclining figures of this "Chinesco" type are less frequently depicted; she lies with a bowl by her side, suggestive of the repose induced by a hallucinogenic trance. See the figure in the Lewis K. and Elizabeth M. Land collection in the Replica Handbags s Museum of San Francisco (inv. no. 2009.1.81); see also Jacki Gallagher, Companions of the Dead: Ceramic Tomb Sculpture from Ancient West Mexico, Los Angeles, 1983, p. 119, fig. 153.
