EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Head of Xilonen, the Goddess of Young Maize, dating back to the 15th or 16th century. Created by an unknown artist, this basalt carving is a remarkable example of Mesoamerican art and mythology. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient deity to life. Xilonen, also known as Chicomecoatl, was a revered goddess in Aztec culture associated with fertility and agriculture. As depicted in this close-up image, her gender is clearly represented through delicate earrings and an elaborate headdress adorned with ear discs and flares. The craftsmanship exhibited in this sculpture reflects the rich heritage of Mexican art. Its presence in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection further emphasizes its significance within the arts of the Americas. This piece not only serves as a visual representation but also holds religious importance for those who follow pre-Columbian beliefs. It stands as a testament to South American spirituality and mythology. The stone medium used adds durability to this timeless artwork that has survived centuries. Despite being created by an unknown artist, it continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing head sculpture, we are transported back in time to witness the reverence bestowed upon Xilonen - a symbol of abundance and sustenance for ancient civilizations throughout Mexico.
