Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of sun and war, dances across a ceramic skull sculpture. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association takes their inspiration from the Mexica Codex, for the original sculpture was said to have been destroyed by a Spanish soldier and was rescued by a Tlatolatl. Huitzilopochtli was represented as a hummingbird as it was believed that great warriors are reborn as these birds. The deity is usually depicted with a feathered headdress, a black face, and a scepter shaped like a snake.
