Hōʻike nui ʻia ka honua haipule paʻakikī o ka Huastecos i kā lākou kiʻi kālai, no ka mea, aia kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona piha o ka hoʻolālā hoʻomana e mālama ʻia a hiki i kēia lā.
ʻO kahi laʻana, nā hale pyramidal e waiho nei ma ke kaiāulu ʻo Las Flores, ma Tampico, a i ʻole nā hale ʻo Tantoc, ma San Luis Potosí, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia, a ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou e uhi mau ʻia e nā mea kanu.
E hoʻomaka ana i ke kenekulia 19, ka nani a me ka hoihoi o kēia mau kiʻi kiʻi e hoʻoulu ai iā lākou i nā kūlanakauhale like ʻole a puni ka honua, kahi e hōʻike ʻia ai i kēia lā ma ke ʻano he hana laʻana o nā hana mua Hispanic i nā hale hōʻikeʻike nui i ka honua, e like me ka hihia me ke kiʻi i kapa ʻia " ʻO ka Apotheosis ", ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Brooklyn ma New York, a i ʻole" The Adolescent ", haʻaheo o ka National Museum of Anthropology ma Mexico City.
No nā kenekulia he nui ma hope o ka wā Kalikiano, ua hoʻohui ka Huastecs i kahi ʻano haipule paʻakikī kahi i hōʻike nui ʻia ai ko lākou mau akua me kahi hiʻohiʻona kanaka, a ua ʻike ʻia lākou mai nā lole, nā lole a me nā kāhiko e hōʻike ana i ka laulā o ka ke ʻano kahi i hoʻohana ai lākou i ko lākou mana. E like me nā lāhui ʻē aʻe o Mesoamerica, aia nā Huastecs i kēia mau akua i loko o nā mokulele ʻekolu o ke ao holoʻokoʻa: ke ao lani, ka papa o ka honua a me ka honua i lalo.
Hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia kekahi mau kiʻi kiʻi o ka moekolohe kāne me ke akua lā ma muli o kā lākou mau pale poʻomanaʻo paʻakikī, kahi i ʻike ʻia ai ko lākou mau hiʻohiʻona, e like me nā kukuna i ke ʻano o nā aniani nani, nā kuʻi mōhai a me nā hōʻailona calendrical e like me nā kiko, nā pālua o ka helu ʻehā, kūlike i ka quadripartite nānaina o ke ao holoʻokoʻa. ʻIke maopopo mākou i ka Huastecs o ka Late Postclassic i manaʻo i ke akua lā e like me ka disk luminous e hoʻonui i kona wela ma o kāna mau kukuna ʻehā, i kākoʻo ʻia e nā kui o ka mōhai hoʻāno, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia i ka papa polychrome nani i hele mai mai Tanquian, San Luis Potosi.
ʻO ka Honua Venus, me kāna neʻe ʻana i ke ao lani, ua hoʻomana ʻia hoʻi; Hoʻomaopopo ʻia nā kiʻi paʻi kiʻi o kēia numen e nā headdresses, nā bibs a me nā lole e hōʻike hou ʻia ai ka hōʻailona e hōʻike ana iā ia, kahi kiʻi o ʻekolu mau petal a i ʻole nā mea ma ke kihi me ka pōʻai i waenakonu, kahi, e like me ka e ka poʻe akeakamai, e māka i ke ala lani o ke akua.
ʻO nā kiʻi e hōʻike ana i nā akua Huastec komo i nā poʻo poʻo, nā ʻano pihi conical loa elongated, ma hope e ʻike ʻia ai ka ʻāpana o ka ʻāpana poepoe; no laila, hōʻike nā helu kāne a me nā wahine i nā mea e hāʻawi iā lākou i ko lākou ʻike ma ka ʻili o ke aniani curved a i ʻole ke kāʻei ma ke kumu o ka pāpale kope.
ʻO ka ikaika wahine o ke kūlohelohe, i hōʻike ʻia i ka momona o ka ʻāina a me nā wahine, ua hoʻomana ʻia e kēlā kaona kahakai i ke kiʻi o Ixcuina, e pani ana iā ia ma ke ʻano he wahine makua, me ka pāpale conical maʻamau a me ka ʻōlinolino, a me nā umauma kaulana; ua hōʻike ʻia kona mākaukau hānau e kona mau lima i kīkoʻo ʻia me kona mau poho lima ma kona ʻōpū, ma ke ʻano he hoʻomanaʻo e hōʻike ana ke kaʻina hāpai ʻana iā ia iho me ke koʻikoʻi o kēia ʻāpana o ke kino.
No ka hoʻokō ʻana i kā lākou hana, ua koho nā mea kālai o kēlā wahi i nā pā pōhaku one o ke kala melemele keʻokeʻo, a i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa e loaʻa i kahi kalima pouli a i ʻole ka hue greyish. Ua hana ʻia ke kālai me nā ʻoki a me nā koʻi o nā pōhaku paʻakikī a paʻa, e like me nā nephrite a me nā diorite i lawe ʻia mai nā wahi ʻē aʻe o Mesoamerica. Manaʻo mākou i ke kau mōʻaukala o ka Huastecs, i kūlike i ka hoʻomaka o ke kenekulia 16, i ka wā i lanakila ai lākou e ka Paniolo, me ka hoʻohui i kēlā mau mea kani pōhaku i hoʻonani ʻia, hoʻohana lākou i nā pāpale keleawe a me nā keleawe i hiki ai i nā hopena kālai maikaʻi aʻe.
Ua hōʻike ʻia nā akua o ka honua i lalo e nā mea pena kiʻi o ka moku ʻo Huasteca, ma ke ʻano he huapalapala nona nā pāpale poʻo i hōʻike i nā poʻo poʻo ʻiʻo ʻole i ʻike ʻia, a i ʻole hōʻike lākou i ka puʻuwai a me ke akepaʻa o ka mōhai ma lalo o ka iwi ʻaoʻao. Pēlā nō, ʻike mākou i nā kiʻi kahi e hānau ai ke keiki iwi iwi, me nā maka ʻōpuʻu, i kahi keiki. I nā kūlana ʻelua, me ka hoʻohui i kā lākou mau pāpale conical, komo nā akua i nā kīʻaha pepeiao wili o Quetzalcóatl, e pili ana i ke kū ʻana o kēia akua hana me nā kiʻi o ka honua i lalo, e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻomau ʻia ʻana o ka ola a me ka make i loko o ka hoʻomana. o ka pantheon Huasteco.
ʻO nā kiʻi o nā lūlū lūlū kahiko kekahi o nā ensemble sculptural o ke ʻano o kēia lāhui. No kāna hana ʻana, hoʻohana ʻia nā pā pōhaku me nā papa pālahalaha nui a liʻiliʻi ka mānoanoa; Hōʻike mau kēia mau hana i kahi ʻelemakule, kūlou, me nā wāwae i kūlou iki; me nā lima ʻelua paʻa ʻo ia i ka lāʻau lūlū, i ka hana kuʻuna i hoʻomaka ai ke kaʻina mahiʻai. Hoʻohālikelike nā hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano i kahi kanaka me ka iwi poʻo hema ʻole, me ka hiʻohina maʻamau o nā Huastecos, me ka helehelena wiwi a me ka auwae koʻikoʻi.
I ka honua Huasteco, he pilina pili loa nā cult o kahi ʻano moekolohe me ka momona o ke kūlohelohe a me ka nui o nā hānau a ke kaiāulu e koi ai no ka pale ʻana i kāna mau kūlanakauhale a hoʻonui i nā ʻāina hou; no laila, ʻaʻole ia he mea e kahaha ai iā mākou no ka hōʻike ʻana o kekahi o nā kiʻi paʻi kiʻi i ka moekolohe ma ke ākea, e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua "Adolescent".
ʻO ka mea nui kūikawā o ka Huastec art he phallus nui i ʻike ʻia e kahi hui o ka poʻe huakaʻi ma kahi o 1890, iā lākou e kipa aku ana i ke kaona liʻiliʻi o Yahualica, ma ka moku Hidalgo; aia ke kiʻi i waenakonu o kahi square, kahi i hāʻawi ʻia ai nā pua a me nā ʻōmole o ka lama iā ia, e ʻimi nei e hoʻolaha i ka nui o ka mahiʻai.
