EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of ear plugs with the face of a figure in its interior, dating back to A. D. 300-750. Created by an unknown artist, this ceramic piece is believed to be from the Mesoamerican region, specifically Teotihuacan in Mexico. The intricate details and vibrant colors of these ear plugs highlight the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic skills prevalent during this era. Made from terracotta and adorned with pigments, they serve as both decorative jewelry and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient civilizations. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the fine artistry involved in creating these ear discs or flares. The facial features on each plug are meticulously crafted, showcasing the expertise of their creator. This artifact provides valuable insights into Mesoamerican traditions and beliefs surrounding body adornment. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Americas gallery, this object serves as a reminder of our shared human history and offers visitors an opportunity to connect with ancient cultures that once thrived in what is now modern-day Mexico. As we admire this remarkable piece, it reminds us that even centuries ago, people valued beauty and self-expression through jewelry and personal ornamentation. Despite being created by an unknown artist, their talent has left an indelible mark on history for generations to appreciate and learn from.
