The house model depicts a typical West Mexican domicile or ceremonial building without its basal, earthen platform.
No architecture of comparable form is found in the region because these structures were made of perishable materials; only the earth-and-stone platforms have survived, although many have been destroyed by modern agricultural activities.
These architectural models thus document the lost architectural heritage of ancient West Mexico.
