This stone sculpture of a seated male deity dates back to 1521, created by Aztec artists. This piece is a testament to the rich artistic tradition of the Aztec civilization. The sculpture, crafted in a simplified, yet powerful style, likely represents a high-ranking figure, with its upright posture and detailed headwear. This sculpture is a valuable artifact for understanding the religious beliefs and artistic practices of the Aztecs before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
