The artwork, titled “Temple Model,” is an Aztec Art sculpture created during the Post-classic period (circa 900-1580). This ceramic piece is presently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork is a meticulously crafted miniature temple, characterized by its conical top and intricately carved base. The model exhibits distinct geometric shapes and patterns, reflecting the architectural style of the Aztec civilization. The surface of the sculpture is weathered, suggesting significant historical value and exposure. Its muted earthy tones emphasize the organic materials and techniques used by the artist.
