Hey I 3d printed that guy to use in my DnD game!
Yoooooooooo do you have a link or know what the keywords for this mini are?
Thank you!
Legitimately, I came to the comment section to ask if it's been scanned for a 3d model because I want one, and have a printer or two just waiting to be given something to do.
Used for ritualistic purposes no doubt.
Into the ritual jar it goes
Gameplay is a ritual, in some sense. The seasonal sports cycles definitely fit the bill
I meet weekly with 5 other guys to sit around a table, speak thoughts into actions, and roll dice to determine the future, so... Yeah.

what knowledge have we lost
Why does it have little radar dishes on its head?
Came here to post this somewhere...
They're eyes, probably some sort of gecko or lizard.
Or symbols.
Two people would smash their heads together. Percussion instruments were a full contact sport until the drumstick was invented.
Nah they're an animal, Mayans were written about contemporarily which notes their love of dressing up like animals. There's even a story about the final battle of the Maya where they released a dude dressed up like a crazy fuckin bird.
wait, the crystal over his helmet... is this the first Sims character
The Mandalorian's popularity is crazy.
I remember taking my first archaeology class in college and seeing pictures of statuettes with big breasts and butts and learning that they represented a "cult of fertility". Only much later did I realize it was just 20,000 year old porn.
One interesting theory we talked about in mine, at least for Venus statues, is perspective. Stand up, tuck your chin down, and look. If this is the view you using to make a statue, this is how it would look like. Especially if you have breasts and a belly in the way.
I've seen Hopi kachina dolls with removable masks, but I'm not sure if that's an ancient or modern thing.
