File:Tuxtla Statuette.svg

This drawing was created by using a number of photos and drawings of the Tuxtla Statuette, including the following:

• Garrett, Kenneth (2003) Photo of the Tuxtla Statuette archive copy at the Wayback Machine.
• Diehl, Richard A. (2004) The Olmecs: America's First Civilization, Thames & Hudson, London. Drawing of the statuette.
• This photo, original source unknown.

Where the photos and drawings were either unclear or where various sources provided conflicting evidence, probably due to damage sustained by the statuette over the millennia, I used the glyphs shown in Justeson and Kaufman's detailed exposition:

• Justeson, John S., and Kaufman, Terrence (2001) Epi-Olmec Hieroglyphic Writing and Texts archive copy at the Wayback Machine.

I suspect that Justeson and Kaufman's drawings are more idealized, more perfect, than those actually inscribed upon the statuette.
