Man with Quetzal headdress3D Model
Polychrome (red, blue, and white) anthropomorphic whistle with the figure of a standing man, richly attired and painted with bright colors. He wears a headdress with a quetzal (Pharomacrus moccino) head in left profile, with long feathers, fine jewelry, and a skirt or hip cloth with a decorated belt. The feathers, jewelry, and belt are painted blue, while the diadem and skirt are red. Based on his attire, it can be inferred that he could have been a ruler or member of the nobility. However, other features (such as the animal-headed headdress and what appears to be another belt beneath the decorated sash) suggest that it could also represent a ball player. Traces of blue, red, and white pain. Mold-made piece with hand-made details.
