This clay sculpture represents a **Tlahtocan**, a council of elders or leaders that played a central role in decision-making and governance in pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican civilizations, particularly among the Nahua peoples. The **Tlahtocan** was responsible for guiding the community, providing wisdom in times of peace and conflict, and ensuring the well-being of their people.

The piece depicts a group of elders seated in a ceremonial setting, likely discussing matters of governance or spirituality. The architectural design of the sculpture is reminiscent of ancient temples or community centers, adorned with traditional geometric motifs and red-and-black accents that highlight the cultural importance of these gatherings. The structure’s two levels symbolize both the earthly and spiritual realms, a reminder of the interconnectedness of daily life with higher purposes.

Perfect for those who appreciate the rich history and cultural depth of ancient Mesoamerica, this **Tlahtocan** sculpture serves as a symbolic tribute to the role of wisdom, dialogue, and leadership. It’s an ideal piece for those who wish to connect with ancestral traditions and understand the sophisticated social structures that shaped these civilizations.
