Description
Central Mexican Terracotta Figure with Bowl
A Pre-Columbian terracotta figure, possibly from the Central Highlands of Mexico, depicting a standing figure holding a large bowl above the head. With an expressive open mouth and stylized anatomy, this figure reflects the regional ceramic traditions associated with ritual or offering contexts.
Terracotta, c. 600–1200 CE. Central Mexico possibly Tlaxcala or Pueblo region
The simplified modelling, open mouth, and gesture may connect with Late Classic to Postclassic central highland ceramic traditions. Figures like this are sometimes linked to domestic ritual use — possibly household effigies or offering bearers.
Size 29 x 15 cm Condition: original archaeological eroded patina wear consistent with age.
