Looting of archaeological sites in western Mexico was already under way in the late 19th century, and continued throughout the first half of the 20th century. West Mexican ceramic figures and figurines were widely collected from the 1940's through the 1970's. This figurine expands the range of form and subject matter that can be displayed by the Denver Art Museum. Its acquisition by a public institution facilitates public appreciation of Mexico's pre-Columbian heritage, and makes this object accessible to scholars.
