Zapotec Urn |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| The influence of the Teotihuacán and Maya cultures can be seen in the design of this urn from the Zapotec culture. It is probably a burial urn and is made of limestone. The face on the urn has a feline quality, which may have a connection to the jaguar deity of the Olmec civilization. | ||||||
