| Description |
Such charming terracotta sculptures represent
the citizens of ancient Colima: men and women,
high-born and low, dancers, athletes 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.
