Smiling head, Classic Veracruz, AD 900-1200. Such heads formed part of ceramic figurines with outstretched arms which have been found in groups surrounding high-status burials in southern Veracruz. They may represent individuals who were given an inebriating potion, perhaps cacao mixed with ololiuhqui seeds (Morning Glory; Rivea Corymbosa) to induce euphoria before being sacrificed. Classic Veracruz culture (or Gulf Coast Classic culture) refers to a cultural area in the north and central areas of the present-day Mexican state of Veracruz, a culture that existed from roughly 100 to 1000 CE, or during the Classic era
