Olmec Sculpture of a Standing Figure - PF.0538, Origin: Las Bocas, Mexico, Circa: 1150 BC to 550 BC, Dimensions: 5.5" (14.0cm) high, Catalogue: V2, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Olmec, Medium: Terracotta. Though this small Olmec figure has been elegantly sculpted, it is his mouth--shown open in an expression of awe--that focuses our attention. What has caused him to react this way? Is he observing the wonders of the temporal world or does his vision extend to something beyond, invisible to the rest of us?
