Olmecs

Olmec with Handle

8cm stoneware 2013


I have always been inspired by pre-Columbian sculpture, so I saw fit to make a ceramic version of the kingly Olmec heads.

Though the Olmecs were ceramicists, we're so far unable to find work that relates much to the monumental stone heads. (They seemed to have been fascinated with rotund baby figurines.)
