Aztec Tesoro

Price:R450

Crafted from Zinc Alloy (allegen-free) with enameling, presented with a chain in a satin pouch.

In Aztec religion there were five Ages, or ‘Five Suns’. Each of these ages had a different Aztec Sun God, and each age ended in disaster.
The Aztecs (or ‘Mexica’) and their Deities occupied the three Realms; the Celestial Realm in the sky, Inner Earth Realm and the Outer Earth Realm.
Aztec mythology is the collection of legends of the Nahuatl speaking groups living in Central Mexico, and much of their folklore is reminiscent of other Mesoamerican cultures. According to the lore, the various groups who were to become the Aztecs arrived from the North into the Anahuac valley around Lake Texcoco. In the myth the dynasties of the Mexica/Aztec came from a place in the north called Aztlan, the last of seven Nahuatlacas (Nahuatl speaking tribes, from tlaca, meaning “man”) to make the voyage southward, hence their name “Azteca”.
Their archaic traditions are carefully researched and honoured to create an evocative selection of talismans that give an insight into the Azteca tribal treasures…
