This terracotta figurine, dating from the Huastec period (400-799), depicts a standing female figure with a tall, cylindrical headdress. The figure's stylized features and exaggerated body proportions are characteristic of Huastec art. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a powerful example of ancient Mesoamerican artistic traditions.
