EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MIXTEC WARRIORS" takes us back in time to the 11th century, providing a glimpse into the rich history of Mesoamerica. In this detailed scene from the Codex Zouche-Nutall, we witness three courageous Mixtec warriors embarking on a perilous journey across a vast lake. At the center stands Eight Deer, an esteemed warrior and leader among his people. As they paddle their canoes towards an island, danger lurks beneath them in the form of sea monsters swimming in the deep waters. The warriors remain undeterred by these mythical creatures as they prepare for battle with their shields and spears held high. The artwork beautifully captures not only the bravery and strength of these native warriors but also showcases their intricate costumes and headdresses adorned with symbolic significance. This painting serves as a testament to the vibrant culture and folklore that shaped Latin America during this era. Through this image, artist Bradley Smith transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind ancient pictographs like those found within codices and gain insight into pre-Colombian civilizations such as the Mixtec people. It is a remarkable piece that invites viewers to delve deeper into Mexico's indigenous heritage while honoring its Native American roots.
