This Chinesco style figure is made with fired hollow clay. The surface of the clay is charmingly enhanced with light orange color decoration. Even her skirt is enhanced with orange color pattern. The small female figure stands innocently, with its charming Chinesco facial features such as small slit-eyes, mouth, and a flat face. Although such marks are just indication of facial features, they are fascinatingly engaging. Such engaging nature of the features creates a mystical quality to this small, almost doll-like figure. Found from a shaft tomb, this clay figure holds a special ceremonial significance. Perhaps the figure was a symbolic, ritual offering in the late-pre-classic ceremony in Nayarit. Not only is the standing female figure a rendition of human figure but it is also a depiction of Ancient Meso-American spiritual belief and practice.
