Thence by descent

The formal geometric posture is a trademark of such Teotihuacan sculpture, forming the canon of the idealized and universal figure standing erectly with a mask-like face and solely adorned the T-shaped headdress earrings and belt.

For examples of the type, see Matthew H. Robb, ed., Teotihuacan, City of Water, City of Fire, San Francisco, 2017, p. 267, cat. nos. 65 - 66.
