Most Mezcala figurines are notable for their striking abstract appearance, a result of their spare, geometric representations of the human body. Such artifacts are important teaching tools used by UCSB professors in departments as varied as Anthropology, History of Art and Architecture, and History. Used in concert with the balance of the Museums Pre-Columbian holdings, which number over 800 objects, they help demonstrate how and why certain cultures developed.
