The Lagunillas style of southern Nayarit comprises five different subgroups of these remarkable human sculptures. The "C" type is distinguished by triangular heads that are broad across the forehead and taper to a delicate, pointed chin. Face and body painting is common, and when present, clothing is rendered as highly decorated fabric. This figure is a particularly fine example of the "C" type, notable for exuberant face painting, which combines geometric lines with curvilinear forms. Rather than a symmetrical and rather static design covering the entire face, each side features distinct patterns. The formalized pose of hands framing the abdomen, accentuated thighs, and erect breasts suggest sexual maturity and reproductive fecundity.
