What If We Called Him The Little Dwarf Or The Messenger Of The Gods?
Amazing terracotta statuette, it represents a naked, truncated man, his gaze plunged into the celestial infinity. Despite his absence of legs, his thighs pretend to move forward. The buttock proportions are rather well marked accompanied by a prominent belly, he presents an elegant deformity… hence his baptism (without wanting to offend anyone) certain pre-Columbian figurines make me think of it like: Colima, proto-classical period of 12.5cm high and 5.5cm in diameter. Dwarves were venerated by pre-Columbian cultures because they were presented as messengers of the gods and endowed with extraordinary powers.
