Standing female figure c. 250 - 300

This small ceramic figurine of a standing female figure was created by the Chupícuaro culture in Mesoamerica, dating back to c. 250 - 300. The figure is characterized by a simplified, almost schematic representation of the human form, with exaggerated features such as large eyes and a prominent necklace. This style is typical of the Chupícuaro culture's artistic expression, showcasing the creative and cultural practices of this ancient civilization. The figurine, currently located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides valuable insights into the artistic traditions and beliefs of the Chupícuaro people.
