Intended to help Americans of Mexican descent understand their rich cultural heritage, this portfolio contains 12 full-color drawings of the myths and gods of the Olmecs and Toltecs of Ancient Mexico. These original drawings are by Vincent P. Rascon. Information captions in English and Spanish are given for each drawing which is printed on heavy paper stock (11" x 14") and is suitable for display purposes. The drawings depict: the Long-Nosed Rain God, Choc-Mool (representative of the rain god, a messenger between this world and the realm of the supernatural), Quetzalcoatl (one of the four principal gods of creation), the floods, Itzamna (the son of Hunab-Ku, the God Above All), the Rain God, the Sun God, the first planting, Chaneques (old dwarfs with the faces of children who struck terror into the hearts of the Olmecs), Tlaloc (a benevolent god who helped crops to grow and prevented starvation), Los Danzantes (figures painted on large slabs of stone at Monte Alban), and the plumed serpent.
