With naturalistic large eyes, an aquiline nose, and mouth open as if frozen in speech, this face mask displays the remarkable ability of Teotihuacan artists to fashion stone using techniques developed and refined over centuries.

Teotihuacan is a vast Mexican archaeological complex northeast of Mexico City. Running down the middle of the site, which was once a flourishing pre-Columbian city, is the Avenue of the Dead. It links the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Pyramid of the Sun, the latter two with panoramic views from their summits. Artifacts in the Museum of Teotihuacan Culture, on-site, include pottery and bones.
