  • IMAGO Cultures of the world, Zapotec Kultur in Mexiko Funerary Urn with Deity ca. 6th century Monte Alban A seated figure forms the body of this effigy funerary urn, created in the style associated with the Zapotec site of Monte Alban in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. The individual, perhaps a deity or a human impersonating a god, rests his hands on his knees and leans slightly forward. The stoic gaze of the figure is interrupted by a large buccal mask that protrudes from his mouth, including three sharp fangs. Spiral-shaped elements incised on either side of each eye might represent tattoos or scarification. The head is accented with red pigment, suggesting that the figure would have once been brightly painted. He also wears large round earflares, a wide pectoral with hieroglyphic ele Copyright: xpiemagsx Metbot-51518
