Description:
The people of the modern state of Veracruz in ancient times produced thousands of laughing hollow children. The faces and bodies were formed with clay molds. The faces do not vary, but the headdresses have different symbols. Many happy faces show dental mutilation with the upper middle teeth filed in a t-shape. The smiling children have been killed by decapitation and their bodies smashed. Why the children are smiling is unknown.
