Seated female figure c. 201 - 600

This small, seated female figure, made of ceramic, is a prime example of the artistic style of the Colima culture, which flourished in western Mexico from 200 to 600 CE. The figurine, with its simplified form and stylized features, is characteristic of the Colima tradition, known for its terracotta figures, often depicting human figures, animals, and scenes of daily life. The small size of this piece may suggest that it was intended for personal use, perhaps as a devotional object or a cherished possession.
