Provenance: private southwestern Pennsylvania, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000. Currently private NYC. For a similar figure see Museo Amparo, registration number 52 22 MA FA 57PJ 850 2. Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima; Jalisco, Tuxcacuesco region, dated as circa 300 BCE to 300 CE (AD).

A compelling West Mexican terracotta figure, from the Tuxcacuesco region of Jalisco, standing with a tall, elongated head, flaring torso, and sharply pointed legs. His long nose, pierced ears, and rhythmic incised bands across the chest speak to the stylized, almost surreal aesthetic characteristic of Jalisco sculptors. He is explicitly male, depicted with an erect phallus, a motif understood to signal fertility, virility, and ancestral potency. Figures of this type often served as guardians or generative symbols within tomb assemblages, their exaggerated features enhancing their presence in the ritual landscape. It is suggested that these figurines represented upper class, elite women or men.
