IV-4 Standing female statuette

Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan III, A.D. 300-650. Green stone.
Height: 12 cm. Acc. no. 257409

Clad in a simple skirt, the woman also wears an upper garment
similar to the *quechquemilte* of Postclassic Oaxaca. As with most

Teotihuacan stone sculpture, the figure is blocklike, with the decoration broken into two-dimensional planes. The green stone from which it was carved is almost identical to that used for many Mezcalan figures, suggesting that the figure was made in Guerrero.
