This terracotta "Stamp, Monkey" is an example of Aztec art from the 14th-16th centuries. Located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the sculpture depicts a stylized monkey with intricate details. The monkey’s form is simplified, yet its features are clear and the posture is dynamic, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing movement within a small scale. This piece serves as a reminder of the rich artistic legacy of the Aztec civilization.
