Summary

Description

Female ballplayer figurine in the Xochipala style. Guerrero. According to the Snite Museum of Art has dated this figurine to 1000 - 800 BCE. Parson et al. have dated this to 1500 - 1000 BCE (?). Height: 8.75 in (22 cm).

Unlike the Snite Museum, Parson et al. do not describe her as a ballplayer.

"Body paint, in red, streaks over her shoulders and continues down her arms to the fingetips. A wide, horizontal red band encircles her upper thighs. Red patches also cover half of each foot. The most lavish attention has been paid to the striated coiffure. A central lock of hair surmounts the head, with bow-shaped openings over the forehead and also at the back of the head. A pair of tresses falls over the shoulders, and a long, tapering queue trails down her back to the base of her spine." Parsons et al., p. 176.
