| Description |
Along the region of the Rio Mezcala
in the Central portion of the
Mexican state of Guerrero, an
ancient culture evolved which
created highly expressive and
powerful stone ritual objects.
Possibly springing from the same
roots as the famous Olmec culture,
the people of Mezcala imbued
Celts, axes used for hafting, with
both magical and spiritual
symbolism. The talented Mezcala
artists who created these dynamic
ritual Celts developed a powerful,
expressive style of abstraction
remarkably close to that of many
modern artists.
