About: The Remojada culture is particularly known for its pottery and its hollow ceramic figurines often found across a wide variety of settings, including burials and middens. Often these items were representative of deities, royalty and everyday commoners.

The art of Classic Veracruz is depicted with extensive and convoluted banded scrolls that can be seen both on monumental architecture and on portable art, including ceramics and even carved bones. At least one researcher has suggested that the heads and other features formed by the scrolls are a classic Veracruz form of pictographic writing. The scrollwork may have grown out of similar styles found in Chiapa de Corzo and Kaminaljuyu.
