O soše
A projection tied to the forehead gives Horned Male its name; the sculpture of 100 BCE–300 CE is at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The attachment intensifies the figure's concentrated expression. It may be the pointed end of a conch shell, linking water with fertility, probably a ritual concern for chiefs in western Mexico. Alternatively, it could represent the horn of power associated in some societies with shamans, who act as healers and spiritual leaders. On view in gallery 233.
Slovy muzea
This figure’s concentrated, otherworldly expression is emphasized by the hornlike element strapped to its forehead. This "horn" may be the spire of a conch shell, which comes from water and, therefore, refers to fertility—likely an important ritual concern of West Mexican chiefs. The element also could represent the "horn of power" worn in some areas of the world by shamans, the spiritual leaders and healers of small, nonindustrial societies.
