Acerca de la obra

Curationist LogoDescripción de objeto de Curationist
A funerary object given to an upper class person upon burial, this ample vessel could have held drinking chocolate or other luxury beverages. The vessel's shape, that of a male turkey, holds significant meaning for the ancient people of Veracruz in Mexico and to a degree, present-day people as well. The turkey is seen as a sign of power and was once sacrificed to ensure a fertile growing season.
