Two Tlatilco female culture figurines with exaggerated thighs, Manantial phase. Slipped and painted ceramics. Acording to the Snite Museum display placard, exaggerated thighs may be a sign of beauty.
Note: according to the Snite Museum, the Manantial Phase lasted from 1300 BCE to 1000 BCE. Other authorities place this later. These discrepancies may be a result of C14 dating vs. chronological dating. See the English language article on the Tlatilco culture for a discussion of the dating.
