Our intricately decorated Aztec Masks
Social Studies-Chapter 4, Lesson 2
Aztec masks were used as ornaments, and were
sometimes worn as part of a ritual, or in death as a death mask. They usually
represented one god or another, and the Aztecs did have many gods. Like the
artistry and materials, the Aztecs worshiped gods collected from a variety of
cultures. A common type of mask would have snakes on it, a representation of
the god Quetzalcoatl or perhaps Tlaloc. The masks generally then were used for
worship of the gods, whether by being displayed in a temple or worn by a priest.
