The weathered countenance and hunched shoulders of the elderly figure in these carvings unmistakably signify that he embodies the venerable Huaxtec storm deity 'Mam'. On the left, he is shown bestowing a young boy with a rite of passage gift, possibly marking the boy's introduction to his peer group. In contrast, on the right, the old man grasps a serpent rod or dibble stick used to pierce the earth and allow new seeds to germinate. Comparable carvings continue to serve as focal points in ceremonial life within isolated rural villages in northern Veracruz. During planting season, they are adorned with foliage and blossoms, and individuals make fervent appeals to these statues to guarantee the fertility of their fields and a productive harvest.
