Title
Xipe totec ceramic mask.
Description
Xipe Totec, the agriculture God of Spring time and regeneration, represented the dualistic concept, "out of death comes life." After a year of pleasure, a young man climbed the steps of a pyramid to have his heart cut out and his skin flayed. A young priest wore the skin for a month and later symbolically tore the dead skin off to reveal his youth.
