An armless, standing human figure holding something on the shoulders
The main topic of Juárez is maintained, the references to the pre-Hispanic cultures of central Mexico, the human figure automatically recalls the "Atlantes" of Tula. Another distinctive feature is the use of leg bracelets with geometric designs considered typical of pre-Hispanic times.
The upper part can hardly be considered human, but following the title track it alludes to Mozart, a well-known musician and composer, as such there are allusions to music. On his chest a series of vertical parallel lines refers to the pentagram the place where the music is writte.
