Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The five culturally significant artifacts of Mexican southwestern culture from the 19th century are the following.

We are going to pick the best example for traditional culture in southwest México: the state of Oaxaca.

During the 1800s, Oaxaca developed a refined sense of art, influenced by prehispanic cultures such as the Zapotecs, who built the impressive city of Monte Alban, one of the most spectacular archeological sites of southwest México during the Mesoamerican times.

Famous artifacts found in Oaxaca during the 19th century are clay vessels painted by hand with beautiful figures, textile dolls, typical wooden clothes with colorful embroidery elements, "papel picado" (chopped paper) with many figures of faces and buildings, and leatherwork.
