- Summary:
- The coast of Chiapas, also known as El Soconusco, is a territory of transit and commercial exchange between the ancient indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, from the center of Mexico to Central America. In archaeological terms, it is a "cultural corridor". From early times, all kinds of merchandise passed through it: feathers, jade, fabrics, dyes, skins, obsidian. Languages and customs intersected through land roads and canals, as well as artistic forms loaded with religious concepts and symbols, ideas, myths and gods. That is what this work is about: a set of sculptures that, in the western corner of Soconusco, are concrete testimony of that cultural exchange and local contributions. The dates covered by the sample range from 550 to 250 BC. The sculptural form known as "obese", "fat", "Poot Belies", "gordinones" and "bola sculptures", with attention to their archaeological history, is particularized in the different interpretations they have deserved and in their territorial distribution that basically covers the republic of El Salvador, the coast and the highlands of Guatemala, up to the municipality of Arriaga in Chiapas.
