Tlatilco Sculpture of a Standing Woman - PF.0418, Origin: Mexico, Circa: 1200 BC to 900 BC, Dimensions: 4.5" (11.4cm) high x 2.125" (5.4cm) wide, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Tlatilco, Medium: Terracotta. This voluptuous Mesoamerican Venus, holds her arms out from her sides and takes a tentative step forward, as if walking on a tightrope. Perhaps she recognizes that this is the perfect metaphor for passion, requiring skill, daring and balance. Though she is aware of the dangers, she seems willing to take the risk.
