Today’s Wordless Wednesday is a really cool artwork. Look at it.

Awesome, yes? I know absolutely nothing about this other than when and where it is from. Remojadas was a culture near Veracruz, Mexico from around 100 to 800 C.E. Very little is known about this culture, but we have a lot of pottery from them. You can see some more examples on the Logan Museum of Anthropology’s website.
The figure has a swollen lip and eye, and I find that fascinating. I have never seen anything like this before. It’s just really neat-from the jewelry to the elaborate headdress that looks to me like an alligator to the way he is sitting.
What do you think? Do you have any ideas for how to include this in your classroom? Share your idea in the comments!
That is so cool. Thanks for sharing.
