Context:
The people of Colima in western Mexico buried their dead in deep shaft tombs together with pottery vessels and figurines, worked shell, stone objects, and food. Naturalistic Colima effigy vessels represent a wide range of subjects, including human beings, mammals, crustaceans, birds and reptiles.Dwarfs, a recurrent theme in Colima art, were probably believed to possess supernatural powers. This figure's elaborate jewelry and headband, and his intent expression are consistent with such interpretation.
