This print showcases a remarkable Brest mask made of clay, standing at an impressive height of 14 cm. Originating from the archaeological site of Tlatilco, located in the eastern region of Mexico, this artifact holds immense historical and cultural significance. The intricate craftsmanship displayed in this archeological treasure is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of Mesoamerica. The mask's vibrant colors and meticulous details offer a glimpse into the pre-Hispanic period, providing valuable insights into the culture that once thrived in this ancient city.
