This powerful yet innocent figure reflects one of the oldest, most universal myths of mankind - transformation between human and animal. The Olmecs are the most mysterious and controversial culture in all Mesoamerica. They built great pyramids, carved giant heads and laid foundations for the Mayan and Aztec cultures that followed. This crouching figure with elongated forelimbs, paws of a jaguar and face of a child, is executed in classic Olmec style. Transformational figures are often associated with shamanism, magic and drug induced altered states; however, this seems unlikely for a child figure. Some believe the human face represents the spirit of the jaguar, others believe the animal features reflect the inner soul of man. The figure could also represent an infant destined to become a shaman. Although its secret eludes us, one can imagine a tiny growl coming from the enigmatic, child-like face.
