Standing female figure 300 - 799

This small terracotta figurine of a standing female figure is a captivating example of Ticoman art, dating back to 300-799 AD. The figure is characterized by its stylized features, including a simplified face with prominent eyes and a rounded body, and is likely a representation of a deity or a figure of cultural significance. The small size of the sculpture, 3 1/4 x 2 x 1 in. (8.3 x 5.1 x 2.5 cm), suggests that it may have been a personal object of devotion or a ritual artifact, reflecting the beliefs and practices of the Ticoman people. This piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers valuable insights into the artistic traditions and cultural expressions of this ancient civilization.
