Description:
Aztec sacrifice scene in temple surrounded by daily life in ancient Mexico. Priests under a dome offer the victim's heart to an idol while other priests attend. At left, the bodies are tossed down the stairs and burned on a pyre. Before the sacrificial place dancers celebrate, and around the temple women prepare tortillas and cook, a burial ceremony takes place, men fish with seine net, men paddle canoes and rafts, one made out of balsa, people collect fruit and carry water, and people make astronomical observations. Built environment includes dwellings and towns. Botanical elements include identified plants and trees, including maize, pineapple, and cacti.
