| Description |
Such charming terracottas reprsent the citizens
of ancient Colima: men and women, high-born
and low, dancers, atheletes and priests. They
reveal in the details of their costumes and
gestures much about an otherwise vanished
world. Even as we acknowledge the vast gulf
between their culture and ours, we recognize the
fundamental human qualities we share and which
time has not altered.
