Kinda reminds me of painted mesoamerican sculptures
You can’t just mention that and not share!
I mean the general style that they did their colored art with, similar pigments and pallets and such
share a picture!
Not the original person, but here’s something mesoamerican that reminds me of the sculpture you shared:

Yeah. Many pigments were hard to access or otherwise very expensive. Tyrian purple, for example, was made by boiling a massive amount of rare snails, which is why deep purples were reserved for only the wealthiest of people. In the 1800s, ground up mummies were a fairly common way to make brown pigment.
That’s a pretty psychedelic color scheme.
