The self-representation of the Mesoamerican man and the relationship of the human body with the universe makes up an essential testimony in the study of prehispanic cultures. Deformities, dental mutilations, ornaments or facial paintings were indicatior of social ranks. This work is based on the investigation work by the historian alfredo López Austin.
