Chalcatzingo Monument 29

3D ModelNoAI

Chalcatzingo, Morelos, Mexico Middle Formative Period The archaeological site of Chalcatzingo contains one of the most extensive collections of Middle Formative period (c. 900-500 BC) bas-relief stone sculpture outside of the Olmec Gulf Coast lowlands.

Monument 29 is today located on a pedestal in the plaza of the village of Chalcatzingo, removed from the site sometime in late 1972. This sculpture was found in a stream bed behind the cerro Chalcatzingo. The sculpture is rounded on both ends and stands about 1.2 meters in height. Grove and Angulo (1987) describe the carving as a stylized human face.

Documented with photogrammetry techniques, modeled using Autodesk Remake software, and final model produced using Geomagic, and Maya (Doering, Collins, and Jorge Gonzalez).
