EDITORS COMMENTS
This Pre-Columbian art print showcases the intricately decorated Temple of the Feathered Serpent, also known as the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, located in the ancient city of Teotihuacan, Mexico. The temple, a masterpiece of Mesoamerican architecture and art, is adorned with intricate bas-reliefs that depict the alternating heads of two deities: Tlaloc on the left and the Feathered Serpent on the right. The Talud-Tablero architectural style, characteristic of Teotihuacan, is evident in the temple's design. The talud, or sloping base, and tablero, or decorative frieze, are intricately carved with intricate geometric patterns, feathered serpents, and the heads of various deities. Tlaloc, the rain god, is depicted with a large, round head, a protruding tongue, and a headdress adorned with goggle-like eyes and a diadem. The Feathered Serpent, or Quetzalcoatl, is shown with a long, sinuous body, feathered head, and a prominent nose ring. The alternating heads of these two deities are a testament to the complex mythology of the ancient Mesoamerican civilization. The Temple of the Feathered Serpent is a significant historical and cultural landmark, providing valuable insights into the artistic and religious practices of the Pre-Columbian era. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, transporting us back in time to the enigmatic world of Teotihuacan.
