介绍（中）	公元前第二个千年晚期制作的墨西哥中部陶瓷人物通常描绘女性。通常被描述为生育雕像，他们的四肢消瘦，偶尔令人不安的面部特征被解释为异常，表明他们特别接近超自然领域。由于这些数字具有广泛的代表性和类型，因此这种解释不一定是排他性的。某些雕像有可能表明社会地位的细节，如这里看到的耳塞和发型，而其他雕像则明显与奥尔梅克的形象有关。大多数细节都反映了当地的传统，面部和身体治疗都非常精确。例如，这尊雕像干脆利落的窄眼睛和嘴巴让人想起了特拉蒂尔科（墨西哥盆地的早期遗址）所谓的漂亮女士雕像，但身材比例比特拉蒂尔科雕像的扭曲程度低。一个可能的来源可能在更远的南方，因为据说该图来自今天普埃布拉州的Las Bocas遗址。
介绍（英）	Ceramic figures from central Mexico made during the late second millennium B.C. usually depict women. Commonly described as fertility figurines, their attenuated limbs and occasionally disturbing facial features have been interpreted as abnormalities indicative of special access to the supernatural realm. As there is a wide range of representation and type among these figures, such interpretations are not necessarily exclusive. Certain figurines have details that may indicate social status, such as the earspools and hairstyle seen here, while others clearly relate to Olmec imagery. Most of the details reflect regional traditions in which facial and body treatments can be recognizably precise. The crisp narrow eyes and mouth of this figurine, for instance, recall the so-called pretty lady figures from Tlatilco, an early site in the Basin of Mexico, but the bodily proportions are less distorted than those of Tlatilco figures. A possible source may be further to the south, as the figure is said to be from the site of Las Bocas in the present-day state of Puebla.
