Description:
|
The Huasteca, a northern branch of the Maya, lived in the Panuco River area in Northern Veracruz. They produced a distinctive creamware enhanced with dark red-brown iron oxide. The zoomorphic olla takes the form of a mammal, possibly a bat. Around his neck, he wears a pendant that represents a sliced conch shell.
