Serpent Labret with Articulated Tongue 

The "Serpent Labret with Articulated Tongue" is an example of Aztec art and goldsmithing. This labret is a type of lip ornament that was likely worn by a high-ranking individual in Aztec society. The piece is crafted in the shape of a serpent, with a hinged tongue that could be moved. The serpent's head is intricately detailed, with a fierce expression and stylized eyes. This labret, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, represents the craftsmanship of Aztec artisans, who skillfully incorporated symbolic motifs into their creations.
