Description
Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Colima, ca. 200 BCE to 500 CE. This figurine is plain but has well-defined features including a headdress and a belt with possible ball game accoutrement. The arms fold in and are joined by the hand at the waist. Flat human figurines were frequently placed within shaft-and-chamber tombs in Colima during this time period; similar figures are often described as having a hieratic style with staring eyes and stiff postures. Size: 1" x 3" x 4-1/2".
