The Tlatilco Acrobat is a ceramic sculpture dating to the Mesoamerican Preclassic Period and the Tlatilco culture, which arose in the valley of Mexico in the mid-Preclassic (13th to 8th century B. C.) The piece was found by brick workers in 1936.

It was discovered in Tlatilco, a prehispanic settlement situated near the community of the same name in Mexico State.

[1] The sculpture depicts a man turning his body in an almost perfect circle so that his feet are placed on either side of his head.

The face of this acrobat is expressive, with a long, hooked nose, almond-shaped eyes, slightly half-open mouth and droopy ears.

[1] The sculpture is exhibited in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
