You would most likely place these carved figurines in the Olmec art section of the exhibit. The Olmec civilization is known for its large stone heads and terracotta figurines that often feature stylized human and animal characteristics, including jaguar motifs.
While volunteering at a local museum, you are helping the curator organize works for an upcoming exhibit. The museum has have recently obtained a series of carved figurines made of terracotta. Some have a cleft head, slanted eyes, and a downturned mouth. Some of these figurines have mostly human characteristics while others appear to be mostly jaguar. In which section of the exhibit would you and the curator MOST likely place these pieces?
