PRECOLUMIBIAN CHUPICUARO FIGURE
Pre-Columbian, Guanajuato Valley, Mexico City, Ca 500 BCE. A beautiful "pretty lady" figure. She has small arms, she is wearing double row of beads around her neck and ornate armband - her hair neatly parted down the middle. 
Pretty lady figurines were quite common throughout Mexico, particularly among the Chupicuaro, Michoacan, and Tlatilco societies. The exact purpose of these figures is still up for debate with the most common interpretation that they are fertility idols buried in homes and fields. They have also been argued that the figures may have been protective items that were ritually broken as young women matured through different life phases.
Height 5.8 cm (7.7 cm with stand)
