We just learned about the Were-Jaguar Sculpture.
Another ancient Mesoamerican sculpture is The Wrestler.
This is a sculpture of a sitting man, made out of an igneous rock called basalt.
The man has his arms out and bent, and one leg forward and one leg back.
Because he looks like he is moving, some people thought it looked like he was getting ready to wrestle.
Historians don't think he was actually supposed to be a wrestler, but maybe someone doing a special ceremony.
This statue doesn't have special markings to say when it was made, so people are not really sure if it was made around 400 BC or around 1500 BC!
It was found in the Mexico state of Veracruz in 1933.
