Next is a gathering of 3 stone beads - gray, light brown, and seafoam green - of tubular and petaloid forms. Next is a Colima stone head with puffy eyelids, a miniscule mouth, and a broad neckline, all beneath a simple cap. The largest piece is a Teotihuacan pottery head with full lips and eyelids, a triangular nose, and a low-resting cap with a pair of bulbous, spherical ornaments.
