Mexico - Museo Nacional de Antropologia 12.08

Before the trip, every person who mentioned the museum said it was one of the best they had ever visited. They were right.


Every case in every room seemed filled with amazing objects made by the Mayans, Aztecs, and other pre-Hispanic cultures. What a rich history.


The depictions of dogs, birds, and other animals were charming.


A beautifully ornate object. I'm not sure of the meaning, but this is a man's head peaking from the mouth of a coyote/dog. About 8-10" high and covered with shell.


Big head.


Little head.


Great masks.
