This ceramic rattle, created by Aztec artists between 1300 and 1521, is a striking example of Mesoamerican artistry. It depicts a two-headed figure with a distinctive headdress. The figure's outstretched arms and elaborate headdress, possibly representing a deity, suggest a ritualistic purpose. Now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this rattle provides insight into the rich cultural traditions of pre-Columbian Mexico.
