Description:
The Nopiloa culture produced elaborate press mold figures. This figure appears to be a male elite. He wears a tasseled headdress, large disc earrings, a pendant necklace, bracelets, and a dual strapped body covering with an elaborate raptor design. The purpose of this articulated figure is not known. The figure is in poor condition. There is a significant amount of wear, but no significant cracks. There is lots of fading and small scratches on the surfaces of the figure. The ears have holes. The arms and legs are attached to the torso of the figure's body by pins. Overall, the figure is fragile and not structurally safe.
