“This vessel, known as the "coyote head," depicts the feathered canine from whose jaws a bearded figure emerges or appears. It was made on a lead-colored ceramic vessel with mother-of-pearl mosaics that emulate the coyote's feathers. The teeth of both figures were made from bone, while the hair and beard were made from seashells. This piece may possibly be an early representation of the "coyote warriors," later adopted by Mexica society.”
“Now, while talking about seashells and snails for the pre-Hispanic era are often contemplated the origin of marine environments, it is true that several species of freshwater were also used. Here stands out the Toltec society, whose population made outstanding use of those resources and whose obtaining would seem easier than that of the seas, although its current distribution does not rule out the existence of exchange networks, as happened with those.  The majority is the use of seashells necaradas, mainly of the genus Nephronaias, with which they were made tessels. Perhaps the best-known example of this phenomenon is the pottery piece exhibited in the Tolteca Room of the National Museum of Anthropology, identified as the Warrior Coyote or the Feathered Coyote and covered with iridescent shell mosaics. In addition, in archaeological projects developed in the region of Tula, in the state of Hidalgo, it is common to find complete valves, others in the process of modification, as well as finished objects elaborated with the mentioned genres.”  https://arqueologiamexicana.mx/mexico-antiguo/guerrero-coyote
