Aztec Art (8)


Source: WTL© tourist photograph taken at MNA in 2007.
Comments : This photo was taken in low light in the Sala Azteca. It shows a replica of part of the wall of the temple of Quetzalcóatl at Teotihuacan. Here you see the polychrome nature of the imposing nature of Aztec (and pre-Aztec) public art. The high relief images in the replica show the gods Quetzalcóatl and Tláloc. In front of the wall replica is a model of the valley where Teotihuacan is located.
