Feathered Serpent Frontal Head

166
This frontal carving (c. 250) from Teotihuacán’s Temple of the Feathered Serpent emphasizes the deity’s wide eyes, open mouth, and radiating feathered mane. Facing outward with commanding intensity, the sculpture embodies divine vigilance, breath, and power—projecting sacred authority into the public ceremonial space.
