The Tlatilco Seated Figure, made between 1150–550 BCE in what is now Mexico, is a small clay sculpture created by the Tlatilco people. It usually shows a seated person, often a woman, with large hips, detailed faces, and fancy hairstyles. These figures may have been used in ceremonies or as symbols of fertility and life. They were often buried with people, showing their importance in religion and daily life. This artwork gives us a glimpse into the culture and beliefs of early Mesoamerican societies.
