Pre-Columbian Jalisco figures are iconic ceramic sculptures from the ancient West Mexico shaft tomb tradition (roughly 300 BCE to 300–500 CE), primarily associated with the modern state of Jalisco and neighboring areas like Nayarit and Colima in western Mexico.
These hollow, hand-modeled terracotta figures were created without a potter's wheel and often placed as funerary offerings in deep shaft tombs (vertical shafts leading to underground chambers) used for elite burials. The tombs were cut into volcanic tuff, sometimes reaching 3–20 meters deep, and served multi-generational family burials with accompanying pottery, vessels, and figures.
