This area began with 3
small family complexes with narrow alley between them. Eventually
the walls were eliminated and the living space became
connected. There are also plazas, some of which contain alters, and
courts as well as drainage pools within the rooms. The murals show
stylistic changes from different phases. See Tempantitla for more
information on the housing complexes.
Mural Of Eagle
This mural belongs to
the first stage of the Palace. There is also a smaller bird mural
across from this one in one of the passageways between rooms that was
completed during an earlier stage.
Mural of Deity and Serpents
Located in a
small housing complex,this
mural depicts a deity wearing a jade mask and an elaborate headdress
with the head of a falcon or hawk. There are offerings or
emblems flowing from the hands that are the color of jade. This
appears to be the back of the deity. The snakes on the left are intertwined like
DNA strands.
Mural of Mother
Creatrix Hands
This mural is closed
to the public and we received special permission to view it. We were
given no explanation other than the name of the mural and there is no
reference to it in the books that I bought at the Teotihuacan Museum.
