... that although the sculptor of Las Tarascas(work pictured) based their faces on that of a real woman, their bodies were invented? Source: "En una entrevista concedida al periódico La Voz de Michoacán, el escultor narró que tomó como modelo el rostro de una indígena originaria de la isla de Yunuen, mientras que los cuerpos fueron esculpidos de acuerdo con su imaginación." ["In an interview with the newspaper La Voz de Michoacán, the sculptor said that he took as a model the face of an indigenous woman from the island of Yunuen, while the bodies were sculpted according to his imagination."] (20 Minutos / Notimex)
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Source checks out and is in the article. Copyedited to make it more idiomatic; also changed "author" to "sculptor". No other textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
