Mixtec culture

Mixtec culture originates from the Mixteca region of Mexico, characterized by its rich history, art, and social structure. The Mixtec people are known for their sophisticated craftsmanship, particularly in pottery and metalwork. They developed a complex society with distinct social classes and a unique writing system using pictographs. The Mixtecs excelled in agriculture, focusing on maize cultivation, and maintained vibrant traditions, such as festivals and rituals honoring deities.
