Jalisco Sculpture of a Young Horned Toad - PF.0681,Origin: Western Mexico,Circa: 300 BC to 300 AD,Dimensions: 3.5" (8.9cm) high x 4.75" (12.1cm) wide,Catalogue: V2,Collection: Pre-Columbian,Style: Jalisco,Medium: Terracotta. Eagerly stretching his legs as if running, still a bit uncertain of the wider world, this young horned toad has not yet acquired the fully bumpy back of his elders. Perhaps in the reptile world it is necessary to be quick in order to reach a bumpy maturity. The charm of this piece is that he will be forever striving for it, never quite getting there.
