Female Figure

Xochipala

Not on view

This figure, made in the unusual Xochipala style, depicts a female seated with her legs crossed modeled in grey-colored clay. A full garment with horizontal stripes worked as evenly spaced grooves and a border indicated by fine incisions is draped around her body covering her shoulders and legs below her knees leaving her bare, full breasts and stomach visible. She raise one hand as if in mid-gesture. Her naturalistically rendered facial features with open eyes, large nose and thin closed lips show a serious expression. She has a full head of short hair indicated by striations parted in the center.
