Prehispanic Seals
Sala
One of the most complete collections of its kind in the country. These curious objects, known in the West as seals, were primarily made of clay and stone. They depict plants, flowers, animals, human forms, mythical beings, and a wide variety of geometric shapes. It is hypothesized that they were ornamental and decorative elements, possibly used for ceremonial and religious purposes, or as emblems.
