Statuette

Steve O writes: ‘I recently acquired this Aztec statuette and am trying to determine who/what this is intended to be. I’ve looked around at various internet sites and the closest guess would be : Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent) or King Pakal.
Do you suppose the inlaid mother of pearl areas above and below the face represent snake fangs?

Steve, your stattuette is a King Pakal, is not Aztec, is Maya in the south zone of Mexico, it is a new replica.
