Help with Artifacts? (dog, background, about)

[xS☺B☺s]

Anyone know the story about this awesome artifact at the Museo Anthropolgia? I took the pic but failed to get the background on it. I know it's from Teotihuacan, but wondering if anyone knows anything more about it.

TIA.

It is a death deity (Mictlantecuhtli). The god of death.

Thanks Tam. I was just reading all about that guy yesterday. I bread the story about how Quetzalcoatl had to turn into the dog form to sneak by that guy so he could do something in the underworld. Very cool, thanks.
