Warrior Men; Priest Men
Sala
At the center of this gallery stands the striking sculpture of the “Lord in Red,” so named because it is a stylized representation of the sun god in human form, nourished by the earth, and because it was covered in large amounts of cinnabar. This figure introduces the theme of Xochicalco’s social organization, which included nobility, priests, warriors, artisans, farmers, servants, and slaves. The exhibited objects correspond to different social strata, allowing comparisons between them.
