A representation Tezcatlipoca ("Smoking Mirror"), a central deity in Aztec religion. He was Quetzalcoatl‘s brother and complementary deity. The Nahua legend tells that they created the world together, however for the Toltecs they were rivals and opponents. Tezcatlipoca is also associated with the underground and the darkness, and depicted with one foot only too.
