A mannequin or statue depicting an Aztec man
A black and white landscape photograph showing a mannequin or statue of an Aztec man. The figure is seated and is using a tool to work on something, possibly sharpening or carving. He has a necklace around his neck and a strap over his left shoudlder. His hair, which hands down over his right shoulder, is secured by a band across his forehead. He is barechested but wears a tassled loincloth. Behind him is a rectangular stone carving with Aztec symbols on it. To the left of the image is the side of a wooden frame. Original caption (handwritten beneath in ink): 'AZTEC INDIAN, BRONZE'.
The blurring/sheen on this image suggests that this figure may be behind glass (possibly in a display case at a museum, possibly in Mexico).
