Large, almost gigantic version of female figures produced by Tlatilco artists. This example is hollow and appears to have been mold-made. A helmet-style cap in red and yellow covers the back of the head. Small slits and punctate incision characterize the facial features (in yellow) and navel. The truncated arms are triangular nubs. The entire figure is painted in red.
