- Abstract
The article provides information on the ceramic figures that are displayed at the National Museum of Anthropology and History in Mexico City, Mexico, which resemble an insect. Based on their shape and inclination, the figure is estimated to be 22 to 25 cm long and 20 to 25 cm tall, and believed to be created between 200 B.C. and 600 A.C. It is also believed that the figure appears to be morphologically similar to an apterous female aphid.
