The basalt statue "Olmec Giant Stone Head" from the heyday of the Olmec civilization

This is a basalt human head sculpture from the Olmec civilization, carved from large basalt boulders and currently housed in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico. The height of these avatars ranges from 1.17 meters to 3.4 meters, dating back to at least 900 BC, and is a prominent feature of the ancient Mesoamerican Olmec civilization. These huge sculptures only depict the head, possibly because it is widely believed in Central American culture that the head contains an individual's emotions, experiences, and soul. Each avatar has unique facial features and may therefore be seen as a portrait of the actual ruler.
