A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some images from the Carlos Pellicer Museum, the state of Tabasco's regional anthropology museum.

Featuring ancient Olmec and Maya Art and Sculpture

Bizarre were-jaguar deity figures, ancient Mayan artifacts from a sacred cave in the jungles of Tabasco, Mexico.

Jaguar God of the Underworld, a pre-Columbian ceramic statue found in a cave in a remote area of Tabasco, Mexico.

The original photographs are in 35mm format (Leica), 6x6 cm format (Hasselblad), 4x5 inch and 8x10 inch formats (both Linhof).

We regret that 72 dpi cannot do justice to the original chromes.

Photographed with the specific permission of the Tabasco Institute of Culture and the Head of Museums for the State of Tabasco. Used on the Internet also with specific permission of the Carlos Pellicer Museum, CICOM, Villahermosa, Tabasco. Copyrighted both for the image and for the other use on the Web.
