Totonaca God of Fire

Smiling placidly, Huehuetéotl wears an elaborate headdress as he sits in a welcoming pose. He is known as the 'Old God Fire' throughout Mesoamerica. He is depicted with small eyes suggesting blindness, and a beard suggesting old age. Angel Cerón masterfully crafts a detailed ceramic replica of the Huehuetéotl incense burner found in Cerro de las Mesas, in the state of Veracruz. The original is attributed to the Totonaca culture and dated 600-900 A.D.
