and what is it of?
In Mexico City, what is the head in the bushes near the floral clock in Parque Hudido for??
It's a sculpture from the Olmeca culture, it's called "Cabeza Colosal de San Lorenzo" or "Colosal San Lorenzo's Head" They are made of "basalto" (have no idea of how to translate that from spanish), it's a type of rock that comes from the vulcanos, and it's very common on the region where the Olmecas lived.
Reply:The Luis G. Urbina park, popularly known as the Parque Hundido or Sunken Park, is the perfect place to take a break after a walk down the bustling Insurgentes Sur Avenue. Amid the beautiful flowers, shaded gardens and tall trees, you can also see some of the best examples of pre-Hispanic sculpture, for there are fifty-one reproductions on permanent display.
