| Sumario: | The Olmec portable sculpture encompasses figurines, votive axes, masks, pectorals and scepters. Along with other ornaments, such as beads and earspools, the Olmec crafted them mainly in serpentine; however, they also used jadeite. Many of these pieces reached collections inside and outside Mexico without an accurate context of provenance and often do not have mineralogical analysis to identify the raw materials. In this work, I will present the first manifestations of this type of sculpture found in archaeological contexts within Olmec sites of the Gulf Coast through technological analysis of the manufacturing traces. |
