[Aztlan] Genitalia in ancient Jalisco and Nayarit cultures

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

If you click on my Ancient West Mexico art portfolio below, you will  
see depictions of men wearing shirts that come down to but do not  
cover the penis. This is a very common depiction in Nayarit art. And  
in the Colima art, you will see depictions of men with erections that  
are almost comical. What they represent, we can only guess at. I would  
venture that they represent the idea of fertility and village survival  
as a semi-religious concept. But the one of the warrior holding his  
penis in one hand and a weapon in the other certainly has modern  
connotations.
