Context:
The peoples of ancient West Mexico dug deep shaft tombs with one or morechambers at the base in which to bury the dead. Such tombs were probablyused by a family or clan over several generations. Ceramic sculpturesdepicting human beings, domestic and wildanimals, fruits and vegetables,and architecture were among the offerings commonly deposited with the dead.This large and extraordinarily well-preserved pair of sculptures clearlyrepresents a family unit, perhaps relations of the deceased. Clothing,coiffure and headgear are carefully detailed, as is the elaborate jewelryworn by both husband and wife. Typical poses and occupations are alsoportrayed: while the woman nurses her infant, her husbands plays a turtleshell instrument with a deer antler.
