Depiction of one half of the face of a living person and one half of the face of a dead person
The clay head with the half face of a living and a dead person visualises the dualistic principle of Mesoamerican cultures. It is based on the realisation that opposites such as day and night, the masculine and the feminine, life and death are inextricably linked.
