Aztec Calendar Codex Costume Deity Feather Jaguar Latin American Mesoamerican Mexican Page Precolombian Religious Quetzalcoatl
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases page three of the Codex Borbonicus, a remarkable manuscript written by Aztec priests in the 16th century. The intricate drawing on this page depicts the third trecena of the Aztec calendar, which was presided over by two significant deities. On the left side stands Tepeyollotl, the powerful jaguar god associated with darkness and night. His fierce presence is emphasized by his striking costume adorned with feathers. On the right side stands Queztalcoatl, one of the most revered gods in Mesoamerican culture. Known as "the feathered serpent". Queztalcoatl symbolizes wisdom and knowledge. His regal appearance and divine aura are beautifully captured in this artwork. The attention to detail in this codex is truly awe-inspiring, showcasing both artistic skill and religious significance for ancient Aztecs. Each element within this composition holds deep meaning within their complex belief system. As we explore this image from Granger Art on Demand's carousel collection, we gain insight into Latin American history and pre-Columbian civilization. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Mexico and its indigenous peoples.
