Stock photography of the Toltec Culture and the Precolumbian archaeological site of Tula, north of Mexico City. Our travel stock photos show Tula's 15'tall stone sculptures called the Warrior columns, or the Atlantes, standing atop the famous Pyramid of the Morning Star also called Pyramid B. Our stock photography of the Pehispanic Warrior columns or Atlantes monuments captures the huge scale and mystery of these famous landmarks. The architecture, sculptures and pyramids at Tula are from the postclassic period between 950 and 1150AD. The Odyssey Productions Stock Photography library also has images of the Toltec influenced Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent at the Xochicalco archaeological site near Cuernavaca. These stock photos show spectacular reliefs of Feathered Serpents that decorate the walls of the pyramid. The stock photography of the feathered serpent or Quetzalcoatl show that it was a popular motif in Toltec art and architecture as well as Mayan and Aztec art. Quetzalcoatl is also known as Kukulcan at the Mayan site of Chichen Itza where the main pyramid is called El Castillo or the Pyramid of Kukulcan. Our stock photos of Chichen Itza show several other pyramids and temples that display possible Toltec influence like the Temple of the Warriors, the Tzompantli and the Eagle and Warrior Temple. Our collection of stock photography contains images of Quetzalcoatl on stela, also a carved relief of Tlaloc the god of rain and a stone relief of a dancing jaguar all these sculptures from the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
