The face of this stone figure resembles an animal, perhaps a monkey, who here holds its hands to its chest. Although the function of this piece is not known, it may have been used as some type of religious object or decoration.
This ceramic head displays exaggerated facial features. In many Mesoamerican cultures, people with deformities were accorded a high social status and believed to have special, sacred powers. Though its exact context and function are unknown, it may have once been attached to a larger figure.
