Though rendered with plump abstraction, this little figure radiates a very human warmth. This gentle shyness is the special charm of Chinesco art, which seems the most compassionate of the Ancient Mexican traditions. Chinesco figures appear guileless as young children, eager for affection, polite visitors from a friendly planet. This delightful figure wins our hearts without uttering a word. – (PF.1897)
