Photorealistic scene of daily life in an ancient Teotihuacan courtyard. People grind maize, cook, and children play among adobe rooms.

A photorealistic interior depiction of daily life inside a residential apartment compound in Teotihuacan at its height. The scene is set in a plastered courtyard surrounded by stone and adobe rooms, with low platforms, painted walls, and simple furnishings. Families carry out daily tasks: grinding maize on stone metates, preparing food, shaping pottery, caring for children, and sorting tools or trade goods. Murals with geometric or symbolic designs decorate the walls, and sunlight enters from above, casting strong shadows across the courtyard. Ceramic vessels, woven mats, baskets, and obsidian tools are arranged naturally around the space. Clothing is simple and practical, with draped garments and sandals appropriate for domestic life. The atmosphere emphasizes communal living, order, and routine within a dense urban society. See more
