The elongated and flattened head may represent intentional cranial modification, a form of body alteration practiced by many Mesoamerican peoples. The slit at the top of the\n\nhead would have allowed airflow during firing, though the slip-paint highlighting this gap may indicate that it had symbolic significance as well. Hair may have\n\nbeen inserted to enhance the human appearance of the figure. The hips and groin include dense, complex geometric decoration, possibly indicating a skirt. Bold zigzag bands outlined in black with cream fill adorn the body and face, perhaps depicting body paint or tattoos. Only women were rendered at this scale in the Chupícuaro tradition.\n","remarks":"AAA1_20-T6-3_CLA_FA_9_17_25.pdf - Day 1 installation"}],"datebegin":-600,"sortnumber":"2016   96","published_date":"2026-02-11 14:23:34.528713","objectid":124818,"dimensions":"33.3 × 16.5 × 8.6 cm (13 1/8 × 6 1/2 × 3 3/8 in.)","on_view":true}
