DESCRIPTION:
Terracotta statuette representing a character sitting cross-legged, with the body slightly leaning forward, the face raised towards the viewer and the arms resting on the legs. It sports a thick necklace that falls on the chest, circular earflaps and a headdress topped by a large side plume, which could indicate that it is the representation of a priest or a deity.
Teotihuacán was one of the largest cities in Mesoamerica during the Classic Period (ca. AD 200-600), a political, economic and religious centre with a multi-ethnic population of up to 100,000 inhabitants. It was located in the Central Highlands, within the Valley of Mexico, and its flourishing dates from approximately 150 BC to 700 AD. Its name means 'place where men become gods', as it was here that the teutl, the deified heroes, were buried.
Teotihuacán was a landmark in the millennia-long history of Mesoamerica; it was imposing in its scale and political and cultural importance, but also in its rigorous planning around religious buildings and the rites and ceremonies associated with them. Our current knowledge of the city is, however, limited; it has not been fully excavated, and many aspects of its culture have come down to us only through Aztec sources, unreliable because of their probable mythical and political motivations. It is therefore impossible to be sure that Teotihuacán directly controlled a territory, although its cultural and religious influence is evident in contemporary cities such as Tikal in Guatemala and Monte Albán in Oaxaca.
The end of the great city came around the year 700, after a period of political instability, internal social conflicts and climatic changes that affected the whole of northern Mesoamerica. Nevertheless, its ruins were a destination for explorers even before the Spanish conquest; Teotihuacán artefacts have been found at Toltec and Mexica sites to attest to this, and Postclassic Mexica mythology includes Teotihuacán as the setting for such fundamental myths as the legend of the Suns.
Teotihuacan terracotta statuettes are one of the most interesting artistic manifestations of what was the first of the great Mesoamerican cities. While their Zapotec and Mayan neighbours left portraits of their leaders and written chronicles, in Teotihuacan there are no historical representations within the ceremonial art, but an infinity of small figures and heads have been preserved which constitute an enormous source of information about the life and beliefs of the city's inhabitants. Intended for private worship and produced from an early date, these small terracottas evolved into increasingly dynamic and naturalistic forms; although they follow a general canon, they have innumerable variants that constitute a very rich iconography that has not yet been fully studied to this day. Some of the recurring features are the hybridisation of human and animal features, the repetition of certain clothing and ornaments suggesting affiliation to a particular social group, and even morphological details that could represent specific individuals.
Made by hand, moulded or a combination of both techniques, many of these statuettes are characterised by the schematic representation of the anatomy, which suggests that they may have originally been dressed (fig. 1). The faces of both the statuettes and the heads (fig. 2), on the other hand, show a greater level of detail. Many statuettes with articulated arms and legs have also been found (fig. 3), possibly also originally clothed. The abundance and variety of these pieces suggests the existence of a certain craft industry developed around the ceremonial centre of Teotihuacán, which must have exported its production beyond the city's territory, judging by the evidence from sites throughout Mesoamerica.
