Abstract. The discovery of human figurines made of stone or sherds within the Bolaños culture could represent amulets, talismans or markers of a transcendental event; in the former case, its role would be to protect the individual against evil spirits and, in a secondary capacity, leave testimony of one of the rites of passage.

Keywords: Stone, Sherd, Figurines, Bolaños culture, Jalisco, Mexico.
