Title
Xalitla standing male.
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.

Xalitla mother and child.
Description
The Xalitla culture created detailed figurines: some verge on portraits, others are generic, many figures are individuals sitting or standing. Here, the mother appears to look at the observer, while the baby suckles her breast.
