Olmecoid Sculpture of a Seated Baby - PF.0394, Origin: Guerrero, Mexico, Circa: 1200 BC to 900 BC, Dimensions: 8" (20.3cm) high, Catalogue: V2, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Olmecoid, Medium: Terracotta. What a joyously enchanting piece this is! The artist has conveyed the wonder and excitement that a toddler feels at the first discovery of the world around him. This plump little figure with his shock of orange hair leans forward to grab at something that has caught his attention and almost loses his balance. He seems to be reaching for the entire world.
