A MEXICAN BLACK ONYX CARVED HEAD
The Olmec The Bird Monster represented the skies, sun, rulership, and agriculture. It is depicted as a fearsome bird, sometimes with reptilian features. The bird monster may have been the preferred god of the ruling class: Carved likenesses of rulers sometimes are shown with bird monster symbols in their dress.
Dimensions: H: 5 in.
