Masks of Pacal and the Red Queen

The jade masks of Pacal and the Reina Roja, buried in neighboring pyramids almost 1500 years ago, are on exhibit at the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. My color photo shows the Reina Roja mask as it was being restored in Palenque in 2001.

And, as a bonus, here's the Mesoweb report on the original discovery of the Reina Roja's tomb, by Arnoldo González Cruz.
