The figure Max Dashu showed is currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art, 
acquisition number 1993-203. It is identified as a female ball player from 
"Xalitla region, Xochipala style"  I'm no expert but don't see evidence of 
Xochipala style in this image, especially in the features of the 
face.  It's the wonderful detailing of female faces that makes Xochipala 
figurines so unique.
