(Sadly, not really a quiz because I don't think #Mastodon can do a poll and an image at the same time; this is not the first time I've encountered this limitation to my shitposting goals).

8 images from different Mesoamerican cultural/historical contexts.

a. Náhuatl-looking person with fancy headdress and line of dots curving down from their lip or no se

b. Kind of looks like the head of a cat-dog person (maybe slightly angry) with a dotted shadow of the image beside/behind it

c. Looks a lot like a Mayan guy with close-cropped black hair fancy spotted robe, animal mask hoodie (not on is head), and unfeeling eyes, pointing a big finger in front of him, with small dot-swirls of breath or speech from his mouth. He doesn't look happy.

d. Anguished-looking person with long black hair looking upward, with complex swirling dots from the mouth, and a jug filled with something behind their head with a line pointing to their head

e. Well-dressed person with a hat, skirt, cool shoes, and stick over their shoulder, holding forth with a strong black double swirl of voice emanating from their mouth and a stick over their shoulder

f. Mesoamerican-typical (and beautiful) dog on its hind legs, its front paws on top of a jug, looking upward and emitting two straight dotted lines from its mouth, each ending in a square or diamond shape.

g. Very Ball-Court-Looking Guy's head in a headdress or helmet of some kind. The headdress has a ball target (stone circle) on the back of it. The guy looks unamused.

h. I gotta say this face looks a bit like Wario, especially in the eyes and nose. Around this there appear to be bones or something in the air, as if pieces of Wario fell off
