Three gods mask

One half of the face represents the god Xipe Totec "Our Lord, the maltreated". The stripped skin is clearly visible around the mouth and eyes. On the other half of the face, the large round eye characteristic of the rain god Tlaloc is recognisable. Another deity with a long nose appears to be depicted below Tlaloc's eye.
