Standing figure 200 - 700

This small terracotta sculpture, created by an artist from the Michoacan region of Mexico, depicts a standing figure. Dating back to 200 - 700 CE, it is a prime example of ancient Mesoamerican art. The figure is stylized, with a simplified form and an emphasis on the head and facial features. The piece showcases the artistic traditions of this time period, with its emphasis on symbolism and religious iconography. The sculpture is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of pre-Columbian Mexico.
