Context:
Frescoes adorned portico walls in many of Teotihuacan's apartment compounds. Once part of a larger procession, the profile figure wears an elaborate costume, with an animal-head helmet, sprays of long plumes, and jewelry. One hand holds an incense bag and the other pours an offering. A large scroll decorated with symbols of preciousness emanates from the mouth, indicating chanting or song. To either side of the figure is a rectangular bundled object, into which cut maguey leaves are thrust. This plant was used in ancient times to produce pulque, a sacred intoxicant; tequila is made from it today. The sharp spines of the maguey plant were also used to pierce the skin for sacrificial bloodletting.
