Title
Seated anthropomorphic figure.
Description
During the Mesoamerican Middle Pre-Classic period, the Olmec culture of Veracruz, the Las Bocas Culture in Puebla, and the Tlatilco culture from the Valley of Mexico created unique ceramic vessels, figurines, and hollow sculptures. Hollow anthropomorphic figures, usually crawling or seated, appear as sexless "babies." Great care was lavished on many of these "babies," suggesting their cultural importance, which remains elusive to us.
