Figure of woman cooking

Description:	Probably the most important tradition in Mexico is the preparation of food. Mexican dishes provide a vast array of tastes, textures, and colors. This miniature figure shows a Mexican woman traditionally preparing tortillas. She has a metate and pestle, with which she grinds the prepared corn kernels and a small jug of water, to add to the grains to make it a dough consistency. Small balls of dough are formed with her hands, and then the flat, round patties are place on a griddle.
