This is part of the excavations they foun when they dicovery the Coyoulxauhqui. I just crop it, nd turn in sephia.
Here some info of what MICTLAN means:
This page is about the Aztec underworld, for the rapper called Mictlan see Doomtree.
In Aztec mythology, Mictlan was the lowest (ninth) level of the underworld, located far to the north. Except for warriors who died in battle, people who died when hit by lightning and women who died in childbirth, people went to Mictlan after death. The journey was difficult and took four years, but the dead were aided by the psychopomp, Xolotl.
The king of Mictlan was Mictlantecuhtli. The queen was Mictecacihuatl. Other deities in Mictlan included Cihuacoatl (who commanded Mictlan spirits called Cihuateteo), Acolmiztli, Chalmecacihuilt, Chalmecatl and Acolnahuacatl. |

Olá Elias,
interessante essas mini-esculturas encontradas, de grande riqueza da cultura azteca. A qualidade ficou boa e gostei do tom sepia também.
Parabéns e Abraço!
Local fascinante, Elias. Gosto da tua apresentação em sépia, embora tenha vontade de ver detalhes mais aproximados. O conjunto é espantoso e muito inspirativo.
Um abraço,
ricardo
