Terracotta Chupicuaro “Pretty Lady” Figure

Chupicuaro Culture.

Pretty lady figurines were quite common throughout Mexico, particularly among the Chupicuaro, Michoacan, and Tlattlco societies. The exact purpose of these figures is still up for debate with the most common interpretation being that they are fertility idols buried in homes and fields. They have also been argued that the figures may have been protective items that were ritually broken as young women matured through different life phases.
