Description:
The Mezcala culture in Guerrero is known for its stone sculptures of temples, abstract humans and animals. This large solid female ceramic type is unique. They didn't create other types of ceramic figurines. This figurine wears a headdress, ear ornaments and projections on her legs that could represent scarification or musical leg instruments. The groove from her chest to abdomen suggests ritual sacrifice or caesarian birth.
