Description:
|
Some of the finest Mesoamerican miniature figurines were created in Las Bocas, Puebla, as well as Xochipala and Xalitla, Guerrero. Each area had its own distinct style. Xalitla's style features heavy muscular legs and finely detailed features. The belt and the muscular legs suggest a ballplayer.
