Seated Male Figure 2nd-4th century Nayarit (Chinesco) Paired sculptures depicting male and female figures frequently occur among the burial goods of the shaft tombs in western Mexico. Built beneath house platforms, these tombs served as family mausoleums and were periodically opened to inter the recently deceased. These two ceramic figures are fine representations of the Nayarit style known as Chinesco, notable for smooth burnished surfaces and painted ornament. These contrast with the heavy three-dimensional costumes and jewelry worn by figures in another local style, the Ixtlán del Río style. This coupleor "marriage pair," as figures like these have been designatedmay represent ancestors who help to prolong the family line through their guidance and fertility.

Head from a figure of a child god, perhaps Harpokrates ca. 664-30 B.C. Late Period (Saite)-Ptolemaic Period This tiny head likely comes from the figure of a child god, perhaps Harpokrates, son of Isis and Osiris. The gods youth is indicated by the braided sidelock that emerges from the cap that covers his head. Despite its small size, the face is carefully crafted, and the clearly delineated features are well preserved. Beginning in the Third Intermediate Period (ca. 1000-700 B.C.), child gods grew in importance, and were especially popular as temple offerings. The best known of these was Harpokrates (Horus the Child, or Hor-pa-khered), but since this head preserves no inscription, it could also represent a different youthful deity, such as Khonsu the Child, Ihy, or Harsiese..
