A pair of flat pottery figures, both decorated with applied strips of pottery, in the form of standing nude women with scarification marks (cicatrices) on their shoulders.

They are part of the West Mexican shaft tomb tradition, made to be placed into graves. Who do these figures represent - the dead? Mourners? Goddesses? Size of largest: 8" H (20.3 cm); 8.25" H (21 cm) on included custom stand.
