Terracotta Head

AD 600-900

Vera Cruz, New Mexico

Size is about 5 inches tall.

The terracotta head from AD 600–900 found in Vera Cruz, New Mexico, is a small clay sculpture made by Native people long ago. It may have been part of a larger figure or used in ceremonies. The face is carefully made, showing what their art and culture were like over a thousand years ago. It was shaped by hand and baked in a simple oven, and it helps us understand more about early life in the American Southwest.
