This work was offered and accepted as a promised gift to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2004, when it was exhibited and published as part of the The Andrall E. Pearson Family Collection. This work is one of three offered together by the Pearson family in an unprecedented opportunity to obtain three striking West Mexican sculptures likely by the same artist or workshop, perhaps portraying members of the same family or lineage.
