Female Figurine
Unknown Artist
The Chupícuaro culture, located north of Mexico City in the state of Guanajuato, created a distinctive ceramic tradition including small clay figurines. This example is said to belong to a group of ten figurines from the same burial or cache (1990.145-154). The group includes both males and females that can be sorted into couples based on size.
