What will be an ideal response?

Essay responses should include these points:
Pakal's long, narrow face and jaw are individual characteristics that carry a sense of personal likeness into this symbolic portrait.
Pakal's sloping forehead and elongated skull, large curved nose, full lips, and open mouth are characteristic of the Maya ideal of beauty, associated with the youthful Maize God.
Elite men and women, rather than gods, were the usual subjects of Maya relief sculpture.
The Olmec heads are on a much larger scale, some weighing more than 20 tons.
The Olmec heads portray adult males wearing close-fitting caps with chin straps and large earspools. They have fleshy faces, almond-shaped eyes, flat broad noses, thick protruding lips, and downturned mouths.
