DRINKER MURALS

Cholula, when near Teotihuacan, was bound to this
urbe by relationships of all kinds. Possibly for that
reason, the architectural features of the building in which
is the mural of "The Drinkers", are similar to the
of the Palaces of Atetelco and Zacuala, located in
Teotihuacan. The original painting, made in the fresco, around
of 200 AD roughly, it consists of scenes in the
that men and women sitting down drinking a drink,
possibly flea. Some wear masks and others go
naked or wearing makeup. Only two are represented here
fragments of that great mural.
