Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Clay figurines appear in graves and the household debris of the earliest farmenrs in Mexico, and continued to be made and used by successive civilisations until the Spanish Conquest. Those made by farming communities of the Mexican Neolithic most often represent women, with exaggeration of the breasts and buttocks, perhaps reflecting a concern with human fertility and increase. Images of a later period, especially those from the great classical city of Teotihuacan, illustrate a variety of gods and human types, reflecting the richness and diversity of an elaborate priest-temple cult. This is a clay figurine from Mexico, dating from the pre-Columbian period. Many clay figurines were made both three-dimnsional and as plaques, and they depict human figures, monstrous and grotesque figures and sometimes animals. They often show the style of dress and ornament, as well as the beliefs and customs of the people who made and used them. This figure is flattened, and constructed as a plaque, but supported by a small peg-like leg so as to be free-standing. The figurine depicts a woman, full-face, with the baby, whom she carries on her back, peeping over her shoulder. She is dressed in a shawl and a head-dress which ressembles a tied headscarf. Around her neck she has a three-strand neck ornament and her ears are pierced to take very large discs, which appears from many figurines to have been common in both sexes in the pre-Columbian period. The feet are shown bare. The figure was collected with many others in Mexico by Dr John MacPherson during the early 20th century.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Clay figurines appear in graves and the household debris of the earliest farmenrs in Mexico, and continued to be made and used by successive civilisations until the Spanish Conquest. Those made by farming communities of the Mexican Neolithic most often represent women, with exaggeration of the breasts and buttocks, perhaps reflecting a concern with human fertility and increase. Images of a later period, especially those from the great classical city of Teotihuacan, illustrate a variety of gods and human types, reflecting the richness and diversity of an elaborate priest-temple cult. The photograph shows six out of 16 small, fired, white clay figurines which were dug up by a workman excavating a trench near Tampico, Vera Cruz State, Mexico, in the 1920's. The figures were all of females and many had exaggerated hips and large buttocks. They are naked and the breasts, navel and vulva are often depicted, and also sometimes the feet and head, but these are not always modelled, and they are small and insignificant. Although the forms of the figurines varies, the essential style emphasises the female sexual characteristics and minimises the head and limbs. They are thought to be prehistoric, certainly Pre-Columbian and probably dating from the first millennium BC.

Description
An account of the resource
Pre-classic female figurine, with head, arms, legs and exaggerated hips. Museum's slip catalogue: 'FIGURINES, human, 16* fragments of, in a whitish pottery. Found by a workman when digging a trench, about six feet from the surface in the Panuco district of the State of Vera-Cruz, not far from Tampico. All seemingly represent females, the hips much exaggerated. The Mongoloid type is noticeable. Note the small hunchback figure. The natives of the Panuco district were of the same race as the Mayas of Yucatan. *6 displayed, 10 in store.'

Clay figurines appear in the graves and household debris of the earliest farmers in Mexico and continued to be made and used by successive civilisations until the Spanish Conquest. Those made by the village farming communities of the Mexican Neolithic most often represent women, with exaggeration of the breasts and buttocks perhaps reflecting a concern with human fertility and increase. Images of the later period, especially those from the great classical city of Teotihuacan, illustrate a variety of gods and human types, reflecting the richness and diversity of an elaborate priest-temple cult.
