Tlatilco Terracotta Head Fragment – 12th to 6th Century BC A finely modeled Tlatilco terracotta head fragment from Pre-Columbian Mexico, dating to the 12th to 6th Century BC. The fragment preserves the characteristic stylized facial treatment associated with Tlatilco ceramic sculpture, with carefully modeled features and an expressive appearance. The surviving surface displays natural age-related wear, mineral deposits and earthy tonal variations, emphasizing the hand-modeled character of the terracotta.
