AD Dimensions:5" (12.7cm) high Catalogue: V2 Collection: Pre-Columbian Style: Mezcala Medium: Stone
This figure has a particularly forceful face,
heightened by the deeply drilled pupils of the
staring eyes. As with many primitive images, it
possesses a raw and vital power; it seems to be
a work of art created as a necessity rather than
as a luxury.
