QUETZAL

Quetzal is one of

the most shining bird.

The plumage is characterized

by bright colors,

perfectly recreated by

Micromosaic tesserae.

The bird is venerated by

the Mayans and Aztecs,

and the local tradition

considers him a

symbol of freedom.

His feathers were considered

so valuable as to be used

as a bargaining coin.
