Feathers and Fangs

Feathers fan outward like petals, framing the face of Quetzalcoatl. Working in clay, artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association depict the 'plumed serpent' with tiger teeth, to destroy enemies' hearts. The original piece was found in the Temple of Teotihuacan and dates from the Classic Period (100 to 800 AD). This exquisite sculpture faithfully replicates the original.
