Aztec mayan death mask steps mother o pearl onyx abalone "temple on temple" READ

In Pre-columbian Mexico, Aztec masks followed a tradition of many cultures. The art form was ancient, and had religious connections. Masks were created in a variety of ways for a number of purposes, but there's one thing that may surprise you about a typical type of mask - they were often made for display, not to be worn. That's why you'll often see masks with no eye-holes, or masks placed on stone or on skulls. (Aztec-history.com citation)
