FINE SMALL CHUPICUARO FIGURE 400BC-200AD MEXICO

Over 1 ¼” (1.30”) height, of characteristic red terra cotta. A seated male figure's characterful face with tall draped head covering, legs crossed. The left arm across the body with the right arm raised to his mouth. The posture or gesture is as today associated with concentrated thinking and probably had the same implication for this figure. Excellent with light soil adhesion in protected areas.
