Idol depicting deity of death found in remote Mexican town
Officials have announced the discovery of an ancient idol representing a deity associated with death in a remote region of Mexico.
According to a government news release on June 19, the 10-inch limestone statuette was found near the archaeological site of Balamku in the southeastern state of Campeche.
Dating back approximately 1,400 to 1,800 years, the idol was crafted by the Mayans, a pre-Columbian civilization in Central America, Miami Herald reported.
The sculpture depicts a seated figure adorned with a nose ring and adorned with patches of red pigment, providing strong connections to the deity of death and funerary practices.
