Mexico farmers find rare female statue in grove AP, MEXICO CITY Farmers digging in a citrus grove near Mexico’s Gulf Coast have found a striking, 1.8m-tall statue of a female figure who might represent an elite woman rather than a goddess, or some mixture of the two, experts said on Friday. The Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History said it was the first such statue found in a region known as the Huasteca. The carved woman has an elaborate hairpiece and marks of status, and might date to about 1450 to 1521, the institute said. A statue of a female figure unearthed in Hidalgo Amajac, Mexico, lies on a blanket on Monday.
