Description

Centuries ago, in the vanished kingdoms of ancient Mexico, someone wore this charming amulet to bring good fortune. It shows a person- -perhaps representing the wearer himself--in an attitude of reverence before the gods. All other traces of that ancient life have been lost with time, but this talisman remains as a vital clue. To touch it or to wear it is to communicate directly with the past. - (PF.0476)
