Mayan Terracotta Figurine – AD 200 to 900 – 54x37x22 mm – 43.52 g This finely crafted terracotta figurine represents a seated anthropomorphic figure, likely of ceremonial or symbolic significance within the Maya culture. The figure displays detailed facial features and body proportions, with remnants of original red pigmentation still visible on the surface, suggesting it may have once been brightly decorated. Notably, the presence of suspension holes on both sides of the head confirms its function as a necklace, possibly worn by members of the elite or used in ritual contexts. The posture—seated with one arm resting on the face—evokes a contemplative or authoritative presence. The wear and patina are consistent with ancient burial or long-term use. • Material: Terracotta • Dimensions: 54 × 37 × 22 mm • Weight: 43.52 g • Date: ca.
