Pre-Columbian Tlatilco Figure, Valley of Mexico,
Tlatilco was a large Pre-Columbian village in the Valley of Mexico, located on the western shore of Lake Texcoco during the Middle Pre-Classic period, ca. 1500-500 BC. The Tlatilco culture (which also included the nearby town of Tlapacoya, where similar figures are found) was heavily influenced by the Olmecs, and even small figures like this one demonstrate some Olmecoid characteristics.

AGE: 1500-500 B.C.

CONDITION: Worn, but intact with nubbin arms and feet. Very nicely mounted on a stone base with felt bottom.

DIMENSIONS: Figure stands 2.75" tall unmounted.
