This terracotta sculpture, created by the Nayarit culture of western Mexico between 200 and 400 CE, depicts a male figure holding a whip. The figure's stylized features, including exaggerated eyes and a simplified body, are characteristic of Nayarit art. This sculpture, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, reflects the artistic skill and cultural beliefs of this ancient Mesoamerican society. Its presence in museums worldwide highlights the enduring legacy of Nayarit art.
