Context:
Teotihuacan stone masks were made in a variety of sizes and many types of stone. All share a standardized shape and serene expression. Frequently heavy, and never pierced at the eyes, nose, or mouth, the masks were not worn by living persons. Instead, they were probably attached to mortuary bundles, or cult figures made of perishable materials. In either case, they probably served as the focus of ancestor worship.
