HUGE Casas Grandes, Ramos Polychrome Human Deadman Ex-Sotheby's
This is the largest of the Deadman figures we have ever seen. This beautifully painted vessel is done in human form showing a nude male laying on his back. These are often referred to as Deadman because of the pose. It has two lugs at the rim for suspension, surface is masterfully burnished (Stone Polished) both inside and out.

The man holds his hands at the top and bottom of his stomach which is the opening of the vessel. The entire vessel is painted with black geometric designs with red lines below his chin and on forehead. His legs are tucked underneath of him and he actually stands on his own if you wish it to be displayed this way. A detailed face with facial tattoos and a well-formed mouth, nose and ears. The human effigy has two small shards restored on the bottom (which would be the figures back) and one foot restored, otherwise in perfect condition.
