Tamuin

In about 600 miles/ 1000 km south from the US border, we reached the northernmost tip of Mesoamerica. People called Huasteca to this day inhabit the area. The little known location called Tamuin was a ritual place with a large raised platform and several altars. One of the altars is in a phallic-shape. For Huastecas this was a representation of fertility and we can imagine that this is how that altar was dedicated. There are several murals covering this altar. This is a series of images depicting important people with rich vestments.
