Summary
English: Photo of a mural at the Tetitla compound showing what has been identified as the Great Goddess of Teotihuacan. She can be recognized by the weave of her clothing. Because she is a god, she is always shown from the front. Her body is disassembled (abstracted) which is commonly seen with the Great Goddess. She is wearing a green stone mask and jewelry ear spools. Her shawl shows that she is a woman; she serves as a metaphor for the city. Images on the sides coming from her hands/arms symbolize abundance and prosperity.
Esperanto: Fotografo de murpentraĵo ĉe la konstruaĵaro de Tetitla, kiu montras la Ĉefan Diinon de Teotiŭakan'. La diinon identigas ŝian teksitajn vestojn. Ĉar ŝi estas diino, oni ĉiam montras ŝian antaŭon. Kiel ofte ĉe la diino, ŝian korpon oni abstraktigas. Ŝi portas verdan ŝtonan maskon kaj juvelajn orelornamojn. Ŝia kufo montras ŝian inecon. Ŝi estas metaforo, reprezentante la urbon. La imagoj ĉe ŝiaj flankoj reprezentas abundeco kaj prospero.
Español: Foto de un mural del complejo Tetitla, que muestra a la Gran Diosa de Teotihuacán. Se puede identificarle a la diosa, por su ropa tejida. Porque es una diosa, se muestra a ella siempre de adelante. Lleva una máscara de piedra verde, y pendientes en las orejas. Su chal muestra su fimininidad. Ella sirve como metáfora para la ciudad. Las imagenes en los lados, vienen de sus manos y brazos simbolicen la abundancia y la prosperidad.
