COLIMA BEAUTY
This little lady comes from The Colima culture of West Mexico and dates ca300B.C.-A.D.300. She is a hollow molded figure and stands a mere 3 1/2" in height but has great visual appeal with her large ear spools, nose ornament, and swept aside hairdo. She most likely represents a small hunch- backed dwarf. What we may consider a deformity today was viewed in a much different light by The Colima people. The belief was that these people were special to the gods since they didn't fit into a common mold. They were often court advisers and top officials. A great little piece with a lot of impact!
