A photograph against a gray background of a wood mask, in the shape of the skull with ears and eyeballs, representing the Mexica deity of the dead, Mictlantecuhtli. The skull is mottled with traces of white and black paint, with faint red splotches on the cheeks. He has a slit for a mouth, surrounded by the faint indentation of teeth.
