Figure

Physical description

Pre-Columbian figure of a seated male, made from a purple stone that may be amethyst. The figure is squatting, with his knees drawn up to his chest, and his arms grabbing his knees. The fingers and toes are outlined with incised lines. The figure appears to have a bald head. The eyes have been created through small slits in the stone, and his nose is fairly large with defined nostrils. His squared mouth has outwardly pronounced lips.
