The Olmec civilization, considered one of the earliest Mesoamerican cultures, is renowned for its monumental carvings, particularly the colossal heads carved from basalt. These heads, believed to represent rulers or important figures, vary in size and display distinct facial features, often characterized by flat noses and thick lips. In addition to the heads, Olmec art includes smaller sculptures, figurines, and reliefs depicting deities, animals, and everyday life, showcasing their complex religious beliefs and social structure. The intricate carvings reflect the Olmecs' advanced artistic skills and cultural significance.
