From the Mexico World / Stories
El Zapotal offers a focused introduction to ancient Veracruz through ceramic sculpture. Its death deity, smiling faces and female figures connect artistic form with a funerary setting.

The Mictlantecuhtli sculpture provides a named starting point for understanding El Zapotal’s finds. Ceramic figures associated with an ossuary add variety to that picture, including smiling faces and figures identified as Cihuateotl. Their importance lies in the relationship between sculpture and burial, rather than in the scale of the ruined city.
