EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a representation of Aztec deities and the corresponding boxes of the calendar. Taken from the late 15th-century Aztec manuscript on bark called "Codex Borbonicus" this pre-Columbian indigenous codex offers a glimpse into the rich mythology and religious beliefs of central Mexico during that time period. The photograph is housed in the Library of the National Assembly (Palais Bourbon) in Paris, France. The image captures intricate illustrations depicting mythological characters and symbols that were significant to the Aztecs. These deities played crucial roles in their religion, serving as intermediaries between humans and higher powers. The boxes representing different dates on the calendar further emphasize how deeply intertwined spirituality was with everyday life for these ancient people. Through this photograph, we are transported back to North America's pre-Hispanic era, where paganism thrived alongside native cultures. It serves as a reminder of our collective human history and highlights the artistic prowess and intellectual achievements of indigenous civilizations. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, it is important to acknowledge its cultural significance while appreciating its aesthetic beauty. This print allows us to delve into an ancient world filled with mystery, symbolism, and reverence for divine beings – a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythology across time and space.
