EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact known as the "House on platform (earthenware)" by Nayarit. The photograph, skillfully captured by eDirk Bakker, allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this pre-Columbian model that offers a glimpse into daily life in Central America. Crafted from terracotta clay, this sculpture represents an important aspect of community and tribal living in ancient Mexico. With its two-storey design and pitched roof, it exemplifies the unique architecture prevalent in Mesoamerican cultures. The House on platform serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of our ancestors. Its presence evokes images of families residing within its walls, creating memories and building their lives together. This artifact not only provides insight into domestic life but also reflects the rich cultural heritage of Central American tribes. As we admire this piece, let us marvel at how pottery can transcend time and connect us with civilizations long gone. It reminds us that even though centuries have passed since its creation, our fascination with these ancient relics remains strong. Through Dirk Bakker's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and significance of this Mexican dwelling. Let this image serve as a reminder of our shared human history and ignite curiosity about the diverse cultures that once thrived in Mesoamerica.
