Within the corpus of Olmec-style art, no single piece of sculpture is more relevant to the above hypothesis than "Slim", a green stone statue from the Pacific Coast of Guatemala (Reilly 1987). Standing 65.5 cm tall and measuring 11 cm at its widest, "Slim" is a depiction of a thin, and probably adolescent, Middle Formative elite personage (figure 2a). Dressed only in a fringed belt and apron or p-nis sheath, the statue cannot be called a portrait in the strictest "western" sense, because the head and facial features are hidden behind a mask and under a bell-shaped hat.
