Female Figure with Headdress 400 - 799

This small ceramic figurine, created by the Huastec people, is a powerful example of ancient Mesoamerican art. Dating back to 400-799 CE, the piece depicts a female figure with a headdress, stylized features, and exaggerated body proportions. The figure's simplified form, with its focus on key elements like the headdress and the breasts, suggests an emphasis on fertility and ritualistic practices. This is a significant find for understanding the artistic and cultural traditions of the Huastec civilization in Mexico.
