Tula, Mexico. One of the Toltec Atlante figures on the Temple of Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli. Standing some 4.6 metres high, the figures represented warriors. On their heads is a feathered headdress, on the chest a breastplate in the form of a butterfly, and they have short skirts with a huge belt knotted in front.
