High-quality replica of an anthropomorphic statuette from the Barrancas culture (Nayarit, Mexico), depicting a seated figure with a child. This object is part of a famous series of archaeological reproductions distributed in the mid-20th century by pharmaceutical laboratories.
Object History: These pieces were commissioned by the pharmaceutical companies Solac and Funk (under the Febrectal brand) as exclusive gifts for medical professionals. Although the base indicates the historical period of the original culture (500 - 400 BC), the manufacture of this replica corresponds to the vintage era of European and Mexican medical collectibles.
