Honoring the Maguey Mexico Archeology Ceramic Maguey God Offering Sculpture

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

From pre-Hispanic times, the people of Mexico's central highlands cultivated maguey plants. The thick curved leaves, were used in houses, and they became fuel for the fires used for cooking as well as plates for the food. The tough fibers were used for weaving or twisted into ropes, and the sharp spines were used as nails and needles. So important was the maguey that the Aztecs had a goddess dedicated to it — Mayahuel — depicted in the Borgia Codex as a male. The craftspeople of the Angel Ceron Artisan Association create an image in honor of Mexico's pre-Hispanic civilizations in handcrafted ceramic.

Ceramic mask, 'Aztec Duality'

Anita

Oct 30, 2019

Angel Ceron's precious art piece blesses my home.

As many times as my eyes scanned all the art pieces available on Novica's site, again and again I returned to Angel Ceron's "Aztec Duality." The meaning of the mask as well as it's beauty spoke to me, captivated me. And when the two I ordered arrived at my home and I saw them in their three dimensional beauty, I appreciated their sacredness even more. They now hover above the entry to my home, blessing all who enter it.
