Chupicuaro Fertility Figurine
HISTORY: Chupicuaro, named after the archaeological site in the Lima basin, is the oldest known culture in the West of Mexico Only a few ruins and stone utensils remained from this ancient society. The many skulls and beheaded skeletons tell us t is was not a very peaceful society. However, the ceramic tradition of the Chupicuaro is one of the best known of Central America. Most of the famous three-colored pottery is found in graves. It consists of geometrically decorated vases and vessels in all forms, but also of animal and human figurines that are decorated in a similar way. Normally, female figurines are usually extremely broad-hipped, probably as a symbol of fertility. We know from related cultures that they are also associated with the fertility of the earth and the changing of the seasons.
