This skull mask might need a vision check! Found in South Veracruz, Mexico, this artifact was donated by A.C. Weyerstall to the #MARICollections in 1928. This eye-catching clay figurine comes from the Lirios culture, which remains little known. #MARIcollection #MuseumFromHome

Happy #InternationalArchaeologyDay ! At M.A.R.I. we celebrate the contributions of archaeological research and continue to work to make documents, photographs, and artifacts in the #MARICollections and #MARIArchives accessible to the public.
