Xipe Totec
Torso of the stone figure of a Xipe. The cult of Xipe Totec existed long before the Aztecs. Most Xipe Totec sculptures show male figures in the flayed skin of a human sacrifice. The incision can be seen where the heart was removed before the flaying. The skin is carefully bound together in several places.
