| Description |
Although simply dressed, this delightful figure
carries himself with artistocratic elegance.
Centuries ago in ancient Mexico, he was perhaps
offered by some young nobleman as a votive to
the gods. Today he remains as a token of that
vanished life, a symbol of passions, hopes and
dreams not so very different from what any man
might still feel in the modern world.
- (PF.1106)
