West Mexican Pre-Columbian Style Ceramic Figurine – Chupícuaro Tradition
03 May 2026
Description

Features: The figure is hollow-constructed and very lightweight. It features "coffee-bean" style eyes, filleted headdress details with vertical incisions, and arms crossed over the chest. ​Surface Condition: The surface displays significant pitting and visible mineral deposits. Notably, there are prominent manganese dendrites (black, crystalline mineral growths) visible across the torso and limbs, suggesting long-term burial and significant age. I also done my own water droplet test on bottom of the figure.It absorbed the water and gave out a really strong odor of earthy / smoke peppery smell..
