Hello all!

Today I bought a replica of a shaft tomb statue. I managed to find out it was made somewhere around 1960. According to the description printed on the plinth it is a depiction of 'sleeping sickness, phase two', originally dated 'somewhere between 400-800 BC' in the 'Colima-Jalisco-Nayarit' area.

Based on the sculpt, I have a suspicion we're talking a Chinesco design, but I'm really curious if anybody might know more about artifacts like this, what indigenous people they belonged to and why they'd depict somebody suffering sleeping sickness.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
