Reasoned classification: L´art dels pobles primituis, sobretot les màscares i estatuetes africanes, va seduir molts artistes de les avantguardes, com Matisse i Picasso, ja que els permetia retrobar l´antiga puresa dels mitjans d´expressió. Per a algunes de les seves escultures Hernández Mora també s´inspira en el primitivisme de les cultures ancestrals i la fetilleria, com en aquest ídol de petites dimensions i trets exagerats, que té una gran força expressiva.
