EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Funerary urn from tomb 77, Monte Alban, dating back to the years 100-200 AD. Crafted by the talented Zapotec people, this ceramic masterpiece now resides in the esteemed Museo Nacional de Antropologia in Mexico City. The urn itself is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Mesoamerica. It was discovered at Monte Alban, located in Oaxaca state, Mexico. The urn's origins can be traced back to the Monte Alban II Period and it offers valuable insights into Zapotec burial practices during that time. Interestingly, these Zapotec urns were often found within funerary contexts without ashes but occasionally contained offerings such as food or drink for the deceased. This particular piece features intricate details including an elaborate headdress adorned with jewelry and earrings. The photograph beautifully captures both the artistic craftsmanship of this ancient civilization and its significance within Mexican history. Its presence serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their rituals surrounding death and remembrance. Jean Pierre Courau has skillfully captured this archaeological treasure through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical importance even today.
