This print showcases the ancient stone sculpture of Quetzalcoatl, a revered deity in Aztec mythology. The artwork, part of a private collection, depicts Quetzalcoatl in his various forms - as a masked old man and as a bird-snake hybrid. The intricate relief work on the stone highlights the craftsmanship and attention to detail by its Aztec creators. Quetzalcoatl holds immense significance in Mesoamerican culture, symbolizing both wisdom and power. This mythological figure is often associated with serpents, which are prominently featured in this sculpture.

The artifact itself is an extraordinary example of pre-Columbian artistry, showcasing the rich heritage and artistic traditions of ancient civilizations. Its historical value cannot be overstated; it offers us glimpses into the beliefs and mythologies that shaped these cultures.
