Mexico Recovers 3 Archaeological Items From University of Miami
The Mexican government announced the recovery of three “unique and irreplaceable” archaeological items that it had requested from the museum at the University of Miami because they had been “illicitly removed” from Mexico.
Among the pieces were “Serpent Head,” a basalt sculpture attributed to the 900 A.D.-1200 A.D. period of the Mesoamerican Central Highlands cultural region, and which measures 39.3 by 85 centimeters (15 by 34 inches).
Also recovered was “Tlaloc, the Rain God” carved between 200 A.D. and 900 A.D of basalt, and measuring 71 by 40.6 centimeters (28 by 16 inches). Read more.
