EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Funerary urn from Teapa, Tabasco. Crafted out of terracotta by the Mayan civilization, this ancient artifact is now housed in the Museo Cicom de Tabasco in Villahermosa, Mexico. The urn of Teapa served as an incense burner and features intricate details that speak to the rich cultural heritage of Mesoamerica. In this particular image, we see a man seated on the Monster of the Earth, holding a headdress that symbolically connects him with the sky. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. The artist has masterfully captured every aspect of this cinerary figure's face, allowing us to glimpse into an ancient civilization's beliefs and rituals surrounding death. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to a world where art was not only aesthetically pleasing but also held deep spiritual significance. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and the importance placed on honoring those who have passed away. Jean Pierre Courau's skillful photography ensures that every nuance and texture is beautifully preserved for generations to come. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this funerary urn and its historical context within pre-Columbian Mayan culture.
