Miniature Figures
Miniature figures. Magnificent specimen with a long neck and
deer head, an animal associated with drought and the sun. This fine, delicate
piece measures only 9.5 cm in height. This type of figure is almost always
associated with two others: one in the form of a dart and the other in
the form of a "cloud," (lightning bolt???) also made of tecalli.
