This ceramic Bahía gigante female figure cradles an infant in her arms. The main figure is seated with her legs extended perpendicular to the body, with a skirt stretched between the knees. She also wears a flanged helmet, nose ring, collar, earrings, bracelets, and skirt with beaded fringe. The infant, molded separately from the mother, wears a nose ring, helmet, and bracelets. The black paint on the figure’s face and arms may represent body painting or tattoos. Gigante figures are often found in family groups, with pairs and couples being common. The Johnson Museum collection has many other gigante figures, including a seated female pair joined at the shoulders and hips (74.053.054) and another mother-child pair (75.051.013).
