This is most probably a representation of an Ancient Jalisco ruler similar to the concept o Roman marble sculptures of emperors and paintings of kings in England and France during the Renaissance and thereafter. The idea is to glorify the ruler and to confirm his authoritative position in society. The expression of this warrior's face is calm and stately, and his eyes look vigilantly ahead. There is a slight detection of an assured smile indicated by the upturned comers of his lips. Dressed in his military might with shield and spear in his hands and royal jewelry on his body, he appears to ask, "Who dares to challenge me?" We are thankful that he is terracotta. We are drawn again and again through this powerful composition, compelled to remember the moments of our own challenges and victories in life.
