This stone sculpture, crafted by Aztec artists sometime between 1300 and 1521, depicts a seated male deity. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the sculpture is characterized by its simplified, blocky forms and rough surface texture. The deity's posture and ornamental headdress likely allude to his power and significance within the Aztec pantheon.
