Pear-Shaped Bell Pendants
Not on view
These pear-shaped bells adorned a female wolf and a golden eagle when discovered at the base of the Templo Mayor.
Las cadenas de cascabeles en forma de pera, incluidas estas seis, adornaban a una loba y a un águila real. La utilización del oro no era común en Mesoamérica, y la cantidad de oro encontrada en el Templo Mayor entra en las palmas de una mano.
