3 Pre-Hispanic artifacts returned to Mexico

— Mexicans have received their first chance to see three pre-Hispanic stone carvings that were returned by the Lowe Art museum in Miami after they were apparently removed illegally from Mexico decades ago.



A flat stone plinth depicting a richly-attired male personage probably dates from between 200 B.C. and 200 A.D.

Another carving depicts the water god Tlaloc and dates to between 700 and 900 A.D. The carving of the serpent's head dates to between 900 and 1,200 A.D.
