The Venus of Currusté
The “Venus de Currusté” is a baked clay sculpture that represents a pregnant woman who carries around a sacred bundle on her back. Created in the IX century AD, it's part of an extraordinary group of sculptures done by the artisans who worked in the Ulúa style.
The excavation of the Venus of Currusté is one of the few cases in which archaeology specialists have completed the recovery of such unique sculptures. This gives it great importance, as we can clearly determine the use to which this sculpture was put.
