The 7th century AD was a time of rich cultural and artistic expression across various civilizations. In Mexico, the Monte Alban archaeological site revealed stunning artifacts like the gold mask of God Xipe Totec, representing the deity known as "Our Lord the Flayed One. " Another remarkable find was a reproduction of a painting from Tomb 104, showcasing the intricate artistry of the Zapotec civilization. Moving to Italy, an exquisite bronze situla called Benvenuti situla captivated with its embossed and engraved decoration. This artifact hailed from Este's Northern Necropolis in Villa Beneventi and dated back to around 600 B. C. , offering insights into ancient Veneto region culture. In Mexico again, we encounter another masterpiece: Stele of the Dancers. This Zapotec relic showcased their advanced sculpting skills and depicted dancers engaged in ritualistic movements that were central to their society. Egypt also contributed significant artworks during this era. A tempera painting titled "Christ and abbot Mena" originating from Bawit mesmerized viewers with its detailed portrayal of Christ. Similarly captivating was a limestone frieze depicting Venus Anadyomene, symbolizing beauty and rebirth. Further south in Chiapas (Mexico), Yaxchilan unveiled Architrave 15 featuring religious scenes carved into stone relief between 692-726 A. D. , providing glimpses into Maya civilization's spiritual practices. Religious icons also played a prominent role during this period. The painted wood icon "Saint Vittorio" discovered in Antinopolis (Sheikh-Ibada) demonstrated skilled craftsmanship combined with devotion towards spirituality. Gold breastplates were not only symbols of wealth but also held religious significance; one such example featured Xiuhtecuhtli -the God of fire- prominently displayed on it, reflecting Mexican beliefs at that time. Artifacts portraying human figures were equally intriguing.
