Description:

Mesoamerican shaft tombs are found in the modern Mexican states of Colima, Jalisco, Southwestern Zacatecas, and Nayarit. They can be from six feet to sixty-two feet below the surface, down a vertical shaft. Off the shaft, there are chambers for the deceased to rest in and gifts needed in the afterlife. This model has been personified.
