Zapotec jewelers of the Mesoamerican region were first-class professionals of the lost-wax casting method. This method, for those scant few of you who do not know what lost-wax casting is, is a process where molten gold replaces melted beeswax to create highly detailed, solid metal figures to be sold worldwide. For jewelers who work with precious metals, these figures would be made of gold, platinum, or silver, depending on the pocketbook at which it aims. Zapotec jewelry dates back from 200 to 900 C.E. These treasured relics are renowned for their rich and intricate facets as well as their religious symbolism. They usually depict deities as well as animal spirits, such as the bat god. Ah. The bat gods. Overseers of the underworld that they are. Thinking of taking the down elevator when the time comes? A bat god on your shoulder for protection would not be a bad move. Also, these trinkets often feature dangling bells and/or movable pieces that tinkle and clankle as the owner strides along his or her merry path. Sh. Listen. You hear that? It's Marie, hopping along down the pike, jingling her jewels of days gone by, strutting her stuff to one and all to show them the level of her importance. After all, is that not the reason why we all wear the jewelry we wear? Hey. Look at me. I'm better than you, and you, and even you.
