Intriguingly impressive ceremonial statue

This is a very impressive ceramic ceremonial sculpture found in the Temple of the Eagle Warriors.

We have seen the colossal original with our own eyes, so here is our eye-witness report.

It’s clear this effigy was not just created to serve as an amusing artifact. It is a serious amount of sculpture.

The temple housing the eagles is north of the Templo Mayor in Mexico City. The Eagle Warriors were a military order who went into battle in aid of the sun, probably to capture sacrificial victims.

The Eagle Warrior statue – or statues, as there were two of them – were only discovered in 1980. Perhaps one was a substitute or a stand-in. Or with the Aztec love of dual personalities, perhaps a twin God. Or maybe it was just one they made earlier.

The exact identity of Eagle Warrior has not yet been uncovered. But whoever he is, he is certainly larger than life.
