SCULPTURE OF THEOPANTECUANITLAN, WARRIOR

Site located between the rivers Amacuzac and Mezcala, notable for its large constructions, such as two ball games, platforms, false vault tombs,
palaces, squares and a large residential area. Close to this site and contemporary-
near it, are the caves of Oxtotitlán and Juxtlahuaca that count with
unique mural paintings in Olmec art. The monolith has an inverted T-shape,
depicts a human face with jaguar sickles with red paint scraps and
snake eyes, these elements and others are associated with agricultural deities and
ball players. This replica is an example of four monolithic sculptures
of about three tons each finishing the building; a colo-
caron in symmetrical form, two on the east wall and two on the west wall.

Chronology: Prela100 BC - 800 AD. C.
