“The Toltec phase also produced flat clay figurines which are far from attaining the artistic quality of those from Teotihuacán. These belong to popular tradition, and were designed to furnish families with little household gods' to be kept at the entrance to the home according to the custom which was widespread among the Aztecs at the time of the Spanish conquest."
