This small terracotta figurine, created by the Michoacan culture of Mesoamerica between 200 and 700 CE, depicts a standing female figure. The figure is realistically rendered, with detailed features like a head-dress and a prominent nose. The figurine is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. This small, yet finely crafted, ceramic piece is a testament to the artistic skill of the Michoacan culture and offers a glimpse into their aesthetic and cultural values.
