This is an Aztec earring, and it's decorated, both inside and out.
★
In their design, we can see three characters embanked, represented with shields and weapons. Their ornaments, their faces and the action of throwing darts have led to them being linked to Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, the Lord of the Dawn, one of Venus' manifestations.
For the ancient Mexicans, Venus had a powerful presence: when it disappeared from the sky it was thought to descend into the underground world of the dead, to then reappear and release its rays like an arrowhead.
In addition, the end of the earring forms a disk that represents the Sun, bringing together in one piece different elements of its own worldview.
Body modifications and
adornments were very common in various cultures in America; but this earring is unique, as we know very few like it in the world. These were represented in colonial codes, and appear as part of the peace and war outfits of rulers and high dignitaries or as gifts from rulers to prominent members of the nobility.

I drew my own version of Coatlicue, taking some creative liberties to adapt her to my style.

The Border Crossed Us

Indigenous people have always been here. Today, we celebrate their strength and resolve in the face of colonization. The world is not black and white.

Woman dressed in Aztec regalia facing the right side of the frame. A leather and feather buckler in her left hand is raised above her head. A gourd rattle is held down by her leg on her right. Rattles are also wrapped around her ankles. An elegant head dress with long white, stripped, colorful feathers covers her head and face as it is turned slightly away from the camera. Her chest is covered by a white top that is open at the shoulder and arm. Her shoulder, armpit and arm are uncovered.

killing largely unarmed dancers, nobles, and other celebrants without warning. Spanish accounts later differed over Alvarado’s motives, but the massacre transformed an already tense occupation into open revolt and helped precipitate the Spaniards’ expulsion from Tenochtitlan. #toxcatl #mexica

To preserve #Mexica history after the Spanish conquest, #Indigenous historians took on the task of writing down vast oral and hieroglyphic traditions.

They didn't call themselves Aztec, and neither did the Spanish. So ... why do we?

A remarkable piece of Mexican history is back in Mexico for the first time since it left the country in 1840. The Codex Azcatitlan went on display yesterday at Mexico City’s National Museum of Anthropology. #History #Mexica #AztecHistory
