A ceremonial wooden mask depicting the Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl, intricately carved from dark, polished mahogany or cedar. Its surface boasts a smooth, slightly oiled texture, with finely incised lines detailing feathered serpent scales around the eyes and mouth. The form is elongated, with a prominent snout and stylized, open jaws revealing small, sharp fangs. Pigments of deep emerald green and vibrant turquoise, derived from natural minerals, highlight the elaborate colored feather work, contrasting with touches of dark red and gold. It feels solid and cool to the touch, with the subtle scent of aged wood.
