Archaeologists have recovered ceramic ocarinas from both burials and elite residences in Mexico and Central America, some dating back over 4,500 years. Within this region, pre-Columbian cultures flourished until shortly after the Spanish arrival in the 15th and 16th centuries. | Archaeologists have recovered ceramic ocarinas from both burials and elite residences in Mexico and Central America, some dating back over 4,500 years.

Through art, music, dance, and ritual offerings of food, drink, incense, and even human blood, the people of Mesoamerica materialized gods in their daily lives. Pre-Columbian civilizations in Mexico and Central America used the human body as a prism for understanding and depicting the supernatural. Comprised of 33 objects from five Mesoamerican civilizations—Maya, Teotihuacán, Nayarit, Zapotec, and Aztec—The Seeds of Divinity explores the spiritual and the sacred, plumbing the mutable line between humans, gods, and animals. The exhibition is on view at the Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) from January 19 through August 26, 2018. | |||
