Tajin Ball Player

Skulls crown the face of a ball player from Mexico's Totonaca culture that flourished in what is now Veracruz. The archaeological site at El Tajin boasts some 17 ball courts. The headdress pays tribute to the pre-Hispanic god of death. Working in ceramic, Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association design and create an original mask that is faithful to Mexico's ancient historical record.
