Totora-reed Stone
Toltec Warrior Headdress

Notes: I've always thought it odd that the chest ornament, the "butterfly pectoral" is without ornament!...the "ears" too...and the whole thing has a stylized stiffness to it...very unlike Mexico, but, but very like Tiwanaku, Bolivia...I dunno...likely decorative metal was attached...exactly what goes on at Lake Titicaca...the headdress related to the totora-reed stone faux roof lintels?...a whimsy...but, these warriors were pillars holding up a roof, so the headdress is in the location of the lintels!....location location location...Greeks/Egyptians too lifted from their early wooden and reed temples, trying here and there to make stone look like the old temples features...tomorrowmorrow: replica temples...oh, and Pizarro's routes to Peru...it's not that hard to get from Mesoamerica to Peru!...if, if you can sail around that southern piece of Panama that hooks to that impassable northern swamp of South America...the Darian Gap...
