Head 1521

This stone sculpture, "Head," is an example of Aztec art from 1521, the year of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The work depicts a stylized human head with a carved hole for the mouth, likely a ritualistic object connected to Aztec religious practices. The rough texture and simplified forms are characteristic of Aztec sculpture, capturing the powerful imagery of their deities. This artwork, along with other Aztec relics, provides valuable insights into the beliefs and artistic traditions of this ancient civilization.
