Description:
This incomplete figure was press molded. The orange clay, called orangeware, suggests mazapan ceramics. The flat gingerbread figure was a female holding a child and sometimes a small image of herself. She probably represents Precious Flower-Quetzalbird, Goddess of Flowers and Love. The Figure represents the commoners concern with fertility, health, and well-being. Note: Fingerprint present.
