Urna Santa María

sketchfab

A beautifully decorated funerary urn features geometric motifs in black and purple on a white background. The face and hands of the anthropomorphic figures are sculpted, with the latter holding a small container between their fingers. The eyes of the figures appear to merge with the image of suns, as their legs are depicted in dynamic motion, suggesting the rapid movement of these celestial bodies.
