Olmecoid Standing Musician - PF.0497, Origin: Xochipala, Mexico, Circa: 900 BC to 300 BC, Dimensions: 6.25" (15.9cm) high, Catalogue: V2, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Olmecoid, Medium: Terracotta. This lively fellow beats a small drum held under his arm. His legs are bent as he moves to the rhythm of his music. At first we think he alone can hear what makes him dance, but if we listen carefully, we too begin to sway with the beat.
