| Description |
This exquisite amulet echoes the larger stone
masks which were produced in the workshops of
classical Teotihuacan. Carved with remarkable
sensitivity, it perhaps is the effigy of an actual
person, meant to be worn as a remembrance.
When we wear it today, we cannot help but
imagine the individual who wore it so many
centuries ago, in a world very different from our
own. Such a token reminds us of human bonds
that transcend time, of emotions and feelings
that are common to all mankind.
