This anonymous, terracotta fragment of a head is a small, but intricate example of ancient Mesoamerican sculpture. The head is adorned with intricate details, including a headdress, a wide-eyed expression, and a prominent nose. The artist has used black pigment to highlight the eyes, nose, and mouth, lending a distinct and striking appearance to the figure. The sculpture is a powerful reminder of the artistic skill and cultural complexity of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations.
