A skeletal figure, she stands with her hands raised in the posture of women who die in childbirth. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association sculpts the image of Coatlicue, "She of the serpent skirt." The Mexica earth goddess and mother of the gods, her image bears the symbol "Eight Malinalli, or "grass." Her son Huitzilopochtli, the sun god and god of war, defended her from the powers of the night.
The artisans bathe the image in earth to give it the effect of a recent archaeological discovery.

Questa ? la seconda scultura che acquisto ed ? curata nei minimi dettagli per la misura che ha. La trovo perfetta. Sono davvero felice di aver potuto acquistare da questi fantastici artisti in Messico. Sicuramente ordinero da loro altre sculture. Grazie!

This is the perfect size for our display shelf. My son and I were just in Mexico and forgot to buy a souvenir for our travel collection of places we visited. When I saw this I had to order it. The packaging was beautiful to and I love the personalized card from the artist.

Ive ordered several of these Codex pieces from Angel Ceron Artisan and they are beautiful works of art. Tezcatlipoca is amazing and I am lucky to have gotten one before they sold out. I have several others including Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl, etc. They are incredible and worth every penny. I can say that the packaging they come in is 100% secure and that I am always amazed at how professionally they are packaged and shipped. They come from Mexico and always come with a hand written note on a postcard from Palenque.
