Description:

Mexico, Remojadas Region, ca. 500 to 700 CE. In his landmark work Indian Art of Mexico and Central America (1957) anthropologist Miguel Covarrubias speaks of Remojadas' "magnificent hollow figures with expressive faces." In addition to capturing expression, the artist of this piece imbued the figure with ear spools, detailed headdress and belt. In addition to being a handsome sculptural figure, this piece is a whistle as these were thought to be associated with a god of dance, music, and joy.
