Artwork description

Tzompantli fue la práctica entre los antiguos mesoamericanos de decapitar a las víctimas de los sacrificios humanos y conservar sus cráneos en una especie de empalizada de madera... con el fin de honrar a los dioses... pasó a la historia dejando un tenue legado en la moderna cultura mexicana, por ejemplo el pan de muerto y el altar del Día de Muertos presentan elementos culturales fruto del sincretismo de la tradición católica y del arte del tzompantli. Además de que diversos artistas actuales han retomado los motivos y la iconografia del tzompantli.
