"TOLTECA" ART PRINT

Also known as the "Templo Mayor Stone Disc", a large shield-shaped stone relief reflecting an Aztec myth, was found at the base of the stairs of the Templo Mayor. On this disc, Coyolxauhqui is shown spread out on her side, with her head, arms and legs chopped away from her body. The orbiting full moon in the stone carving reflects her position as the moon goddess. She is distinguished by balls of eagle down in her hair, a bell symbol on her cheek, and an ear tab showing the Mexica year sign. As with images of her mother, she is shown with a skull tied to her belt. Scholars also believe that the decapitation and destruction of Coyolxauhqui is reflected in the pattern of warrior ritual sacrifice. This reworked ancient Aztec\Toltec Disc image has captured Mankind's imagination for generations! Very organic, very powerful!
