Figurine

3D Model

Finely worked anthropomorphic figurine carved from quartz. The head, exhibiting clear Olmec traits, appears not to correspond to the body, whose standing pose with hands joined at the front is highly atypical. Even the color of the stone and its degree of transparency differ between the two parts. The figure wears a garment resembling a long robe tied at the waist with a cord. The Cultural Property Registry classifies this piece as originating from the Highlands and dating to the Classic period; however, if only the head (apparently genuine) is considered, it would likely date to a much earlier time.
