Venus of fertility and callipyge fertility. She is shown standing naked, her body adorned with zigzag ceremonial paintings, temple stairs and various geometric motifs. Its ears with distended lobes are decorated with tambas, its open mouth shows the teeth symbolically. The headdress probably evokes a stylized phallus. This work is distinguished by the beauty of its decoration, the delicacy of its modelling and the expressiveness of the face. Polychrome terracotta, Chupicuaro, state of Guanajuato, western Mexico, 500 to 100 B.C. 24 x 11.5 x 5 cm
