The specimen Wilson posted is a marvelous item to be sure.
It reminded me of something I was looking at the other day on line.
The Azteca people had developed something, that had it occurred to them, would have changed the face of the Americas in outstanding ways. (Wheels!)
Figurines with wheels often described as pull toys.
1st one is fired Clay (museum piece)
2nd one is a gold alloy (Wheels missing) private collection
3rd one is Onyx (I believe this too is a Museum piece)
[All presumed to portray Jaguars]
Sure would like to have one of these in my collection.
