Description
fired clay, red, beige brown and black paint, hollow pottery figure with typical Jalisco features: elongated face with long pointed nose, crested headdress with crossed bands, pellets on the shoulders, which have been interpreted as ritual scars, but may very well be a kind of ornament (beads), striking short spread arms, vent-hole at the back of the head
