<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 3760514, member: 8267"]It looks like it might be a whistle of some sort. I think I see a hole in the top of the topknot, and one at the back, in addition to the open base. It is more than likely that it is a modern Mexican recreation rather than actually pre-columbian in date. He does not seem to be any particular style, and the posture is quite odd - he seems to be seated on something, but it is not differentiated from his body. Sitting with one leg propped on the opposite knee is not a typical posture in actual pre-columbian figures. They tend to sit flat on the ground, with legs out stretched, crossed, or with the knees drawn up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
