Description
Wearing a dark skirt and with evidence of heavy painting or tattoos on her breasts, this woman appears in a somewhat mysterious pose that occurs frequently among Jalisco tomb figures. She grips the back of her head and flings her other arm out before her. What does it mean? Is it a gesture of mourning, or is it simply designed to show her beauty to advantage. - (PF.0682)
