Museo del Templo Mayor (4) |
Source: WTL© digital photograph (2009) taken in the Museo del Templo Mayor, Mexico City. Comments: This is a funerary vase, used for holding ashes. Notice the horror vacui (see: => Key Terms) ornamentation on the vase. Humanities Question: Why would a funerary vase employ a horror vacui mode of artistic decoration? |
