| Description |
There is a heightened degree of expressive
naturalism about this marvelous figure, a
characteristic unusual in the art of Nayarit.
Seeing him thus, leaning back, supporting
himself on his arm as any of us might do today,
we are reminded that the difference between his
lost world and ours today is not so great.
- (PF.0855)
