Nicoya Metate with Monkey Effigies

Este metate de Nicoya (1000–1350), una herramienta de piedra para moler maíz, descansa sobre tres monos esculpidos cuyos brazos levantados sostienen la superficie. En las creencias mesoamericanas, los monos significaban travesura, fertilidad y vitalidad creativa. Sus poses animadas revelan una visión del mundo en la que los animales y el trabajo ritual estaban simbólicamente entrelazados.
