This small, brown stone figurine from the Tlatilco culture dates back to around 1500 CE. The abstract form, likely representing a human figure, is characteristic of the Tlatilco style, known for its simplified and stylized representations. This piece is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art and is a valuable example of Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican art.
