Description:
People with unusual appearances may have held a special position in Mesoamerican societies. Normal twins were very special and conjoined twins a rarity. The individuals represented are very close together. Their two arms wrap around each other. Their posture suggests they are mourners, ill, sleeping, or drugged. The hollow body of the twins forms an Ocarina.
