EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient Monkey sculpture, estimated to date between 500 B.C. and A.D. 1000, is an intriguing artifact from the rich cultural heritage of Mesoamerica. The exact origin and creator of this piece remain unknown, but it is believed to have been produced during the Pre-Columbian period in either Mexico or Central America. The Monkey figure, carved from a single piece of stone, showcases remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail. Its expressive face, with wide-open eyes and a slight smile, conveys a sense of playfulness and intelligence. The monkey's body is adorned with intricate patterns and geometric designs, adding to its visual appeal. The Monkey sculpture is an excellent representation of the ancient Mesoamerican appreciation for the natural world and the various animals that inhabited it. Monkeys were considered sacred animals in many Mesoamerican cultures, and this sculpture may have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes. This ancient artifact is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The Monkey sculpture is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the ancient Americas and serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between humans and the natural world.
