Description
This mask was found at Malinaltepec in the south of Mexico. The underlying sculpture belongs to the Teotihuacan Culture (200-600 +/- AD). The 762 stone tesserae were added much later (sometime within the range 900-1520AD). The mask was long regarded as a possible forgery, but thorough analysis published in 2010 indicates that it is authentic.
