Nayarit ceramic figurines are ancient artifacts originating from the region of Nayarit, located on the western coast of Mexico. These figurines are part of the pre-Columbian heritage of Mesoamerica, dating back to around 200 BC to 500 AD, corresponding to the Shaft Tomb Culture, also known as the Chinesca Culture. These figurines are characterized by their distinctive style, often depicting human figures engaged in various activities such as cooking, dancing, playing musical instruments, or participating in ritualistic ceremonies. They are typically crafted using a technique called "slab and coil," where thin pieces of clay are shaped into coils and then formed into the desired shape. The figurines are then decorated with intricate patterns and details, sometimes using slip painting techniques.
