Calavera Mexicana – CALAVERA MEXICANA COYOLXAUHQUI

The Mexican Coyolxauhqui Skull is a mestizo piece of the Western Christian tradition in union with the pre-Hispanic. The crown of this piece alludes in its top view to the Mexica year 0 that marks the birth of Huitzilopoztli, god of war. However, it also represents the crown of the Virgen del Pilar in an interior view. The color red represents the color of blood, the passion for life. This piece is a beating heart given in eternal sacrifice for the continuity of life. The Mexican axolotl is an endemic animal typical of the lake area of ??the great Tenochtitlán. And it is for this reason that it occupies a privileged position as a symbolic element in this piece. The butterfly placed as a pectoral is a symbol of nobility and represents the warriors.
