Blackware Pottery Figurine

Any help with figuring the origin?
Thanks

 

Excellent competition for "The Scream."

 

I *think* there may have been other parts?
It reminds me of this . . .

Hello,

Thats a nice and unique piece. It looks Mexican by the incised colored in pattern. I have seen a lot of smaller Mexican clay pieces with that kind of decoration and smooth polished surface. I hope that helps.

I also think that it could be Mexican or Southwestern. The face is not very traditional and indeed it is a good candidate for Scream character

 

Kardinal -- truly you could furnish a "weird" house all by yourself. That thing gives me the creepy-crawlies! It looks as if it could sit on the mantel... And beseech the heavens...

I'd even take that gravy pitcher of Bev's over your moon-faced critter!

 

Found two with the same kind of faces.
I think your lady is probably missing a corn grinding apparatus.
