Two-headed Pretty Lady terracotta, pigments Pre-Classic period c. 550-100 BCE Chupicuaro culture Michoacan, Mexico #handmade #terracotta #pigment #twoheaded #prettylady #preclassic #chupicuaro #guanajuato #michoacan #mexico #lifeanddeath #duality #precolumbian #prehispanic #ancientart #art #figure

Chupícuaro two-headed figures are rare Mesoamerican ceramic artifacts from the Preclassic period (roughly 500–100 BCE) originating in modern-day Guanajuato, Mexico. These hand-modeled clay figures depict a single stylized, typically female, body with two distinct heads sharing a single torso.
Chupícuaro figures are highly prized for their surreal features, particularly their distinct "coffee-bean" shaped eyes, oversized heads, and geometric, red-and-cream body paint or tattoo patterns.
Two-headed or double-faced figures are believed to symbolize the concept of duality—such as life and death, earth and sky, or the supernatural realm. It reflects a fundamental Mesoamerican worldview that balanced interactions between opposing forces gave rise to the universe.
These figures were frequently used as grave offerings. They are closely tied to the themes of fertility, regeneration, and the cycle of life.

Big boys Don't cry. Manzano/Peron chile. I think Canario in Oaxaca. I find it as hot as a habanero but the flesh is so much meatier and I think more delicious. If you find it pickled, you can just use the onions if you are not strong and brave. #chiles #chili #michoacan #salsa
