The diametrically opposed social roles are alluded to by their poses and accoutrements; the male grips a club whose barbs are counterpointed by the female’s raised shoulder cicatrices – a means of beautifying the body – while her hands are placed on the stomach, an intimation of the birth-giving position often depicted by Nayarit ceramists.

Male and female figurines were found in different postures and in most of the figurines, they appear to be wearing a helmet and have some kind of padding on the shoulders. Other figurines were found to hold a staff or sceptre, possibly as a symbol of justice and ruling. Each figurine has a different pose but the strangest of all is that some female figurines hold babies suckling milk, with the child also represented as a lizard-type creature.
The figurines are presented with long heads, almond shaped eyes, long tapered faces and a lizard-type nose. What exactly they represent is completely unknown.

These ceramic masterpieces emphasize heavy necklaces, the women’s belt and loincloth, and breasts adorned with dotted lines. This pattern could well represent the African custom of cicatrization, but the question remains: what do the patterns of ritual scarring themselves represent?
... ... ...
It seems to me that the sign-inscribed matrikas reflect ritual acts, and not only in the making and use of the figurines themselves. In fact, painting and incision on the icons are likely to have originated in women’s ceremonies in which they painted, tattooed, or scarified their bodies with sacred signs and substances. Body-painting has been an integral part of Australian women’s ritual for thousands of years. African scar-patterns are typically applied as part of womanhood initiations, and tattooing has similar significance in Samoa and Micronesia. Quite a few matrikas have vertical lines on the chin, a very common tattoo pattern for women around the world, including Maori, Bedouins, villagers in some parts of Syria, and northern Californian peoples such as the Shasta. In tropical South America, aboriginal people use body-painting for ritual, but it has everyday uses too. A person who is painted is clothed.

The Western Mexico shaft tomb tradition or shaft tomb culture refers to a set of interlocked cultural traits found in the western Mexican states of Jalisco, Nayarit, and, to a lesser extent, Colima to its south, roughly dating to the period between 300 BCE and 400 CE, although there is not wide agreement on this end-date. Nearly all of the artifacts associated with this shaft tomb tradition have been discovered by looters and are without provenance, making dating problematic.[1] The first major undisturbed shaft tomb associated with the tradition was not discovered until 1993, at Huitzilapa, Jalisco.[

A pig dragon or zhūlóng (simplified Chinese: 玉猪龙; traditional Chinese: 玉豬龍)[1] is a type of jade artifact from the Hongshan culture of neolithic China. Pig dragons are zoomorphic forms with a pig-like head and elongated limbless body coiled around to the head and described as "suggestively fetal"
... ... ...
There is some speculation that the pig dragon is the first representation of the Chinese dragon. The character for "dragon" in the earliest Chinese writing has a similar coiled form, as do later jade dragon amulets from the Shang period.[

It is interesting to note the similarities between western Mexico and South America, since in regions of both places shaft tombs were built. Recent studies have found common elements with countries as far away as Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, it is inferred that there was some type of contact perhaps by ocean navigation. Evidence was found in Treasure Beach (200-700 CE), on the Colima coast.[

First, corn and other cultivated plants (called domesticates), initially developed in what is now Mexico, then diffused northward throughout the greater Southwest and were added to the wild food subsistence base of native people sometime about 2,500 to 2,000 years ago in areas on either side of the southern Wasatch Plateau.

The word Anishinaabeg translates to "people from whence lowered." Another definition refers to "the good humans," meaning those who are on the right road or path given to them by the Creator Gitche Manitou, or Great Spirit.
... ... ...
According to Anishinabe tradition, and from records of wiigwaasabak (birch bark scrolls), the people migrated from the eastern areas of North America, and from along the East Coast. In old stories, the homeland was called Turtle Island. This comes from the idea that the universe, the Earth, or the continent of North America are all sometimes understood as being the back of a great turtle, a mysterious natural consciousness.
