Eagle Warrior

Guerrero Aguila photoThis ceramic sculpture measures 170 cm in height and probably represents an Eagle Warrior. It is composed of four sections: the head, with its eagle head helmet; the trunk with the arms dressed as wings; the waist to the knee; and the lower part of the legs, adorned with talons. Its accouterments still conserve part of the decoration that simulated bird feathers. Mexica culture.
