Outstanding condition. Very rare in this condition. End of nose & left foot chipped. The Colima culture buried their fallen with figurines like this stunning example so the deceased would have companionship in the afterlife. A shaft was dug straight down and a tomb dug out at the bottom of the shaft. The deceased was then placed in the tomb with a burial buddy and other items that they might need in their afterlife.
