Though they created no public monuments and used no written language, the Nayarit culture of Ancient Mexico left behind a vivid picture of their lives. Their ceramic tomb art shows a lively appreciation for the natural world, and documents the broad range of human moods and emotions. The 'Chinesco' figures of Nayarit, named for their resemblance to Oriental ceramics, are especially expressive. Rendered in an elegant, abstract style, Chinesco art captures humanity in moments of quiet introspection. This rare and unusual figure, shown in an attitude of prayer or mourning, causes the viewer to grow quiet as well. He reminds us that centuries of progress have not altered the essentials of human existence.
